I’ve never been a big fan of clips from films. Trailers are fine, they give an outline of the story and introduce characters, but clips just place you somewhere within the boundaries of the film and ask you to make sense of every little detail that’s going on, hoping that you’ll pick up that one of the extras is eating the exact same sandwich as the killer just happens to enjoy, thus hinting at the main antagonist.
The latest clip from Unlocked is more or less exactly what I’ve just described above, with the exception of the sandwich eating villain. There isn’t much to go on other than John Malkovich’s captivating performance. Other than that, it’s a load of exposition on a random murder suspect and his suspected links to a terrorist organisation.
There’s no need to watch this clip. You’ll also be able to see it in the film, where I guarantee it will have a lot more meaning.
Unlocked is in cinemas May 5th!
