Is the 2025 ‘Locked' Movie Streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video?
If in the mood for pure, violent action this weekend, go ahead and see the new 2025 Locked movie in theaters.
This American remake of the 2019 Argentinian film, 4×4, stars Bill Skarsgard as a young, carefree carjacker who, one day, steals from the wrong person. Two-time Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins stars as a sociopathic car owner who decides to lock Skarsgard in his car, in an effort to teach him a valuable life lesson. Actions have consequences, and sometimes those consequences are served to you by a deranged Anthony Hopkins.
Also starring Ashley Cartwright, Michael Eklund, and Navid Charkhi, Locked was directed by David Yarovesky and written by Michael Arlen Ross. The film was produced by Sam Raimi through his Raimi Productions company, so you know the action is going to be good.
Here's what to know about where to watch the 2025 Locked movie and when we expect to see the Locked movie on streaming.
For now, Locked will only be available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in select theaters in the U.S. on Friday, March 21. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Locked is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.
Locked is not streaming on Netflix or Prime Video right now. While it's possible Locked may stream on Netflix someday, it won't be until after the theatrical run and digital release of the movie. Locked is not a Netflix original—it's a small, independent film being distributed by The Avenue, which first launched in 2020. Another Avenue movie, Land of Bad, did eventually stream on Netflix, about four months after it opened in theaters, so it is possible you'll see Locked on Netflix in about four months time, around July 2025.
But other Avenue movies never streamed on Netflix. There's not enough data for an accurate prediction at this time.
Locked will likely not stream on the Warner Bros-owned streamer, Max (formerly known as HBO Max) any time soon, because Locked is not a Warner Bros. movie.
You will be able to purchase Locked on Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital, but you will not be able to stream Locked on Prime Video free with a Prime subscription, because it is not a Prime original movie. If you want to watch Locked movie at home, you'll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms.
The Locked movie digital release date has not yet been announced. However, we can make an educated guess as to when we might see Locked on video-on-demand, based on the digital release of previous films from this studio, The Avenue.
Another The Avenue movie, Land of Bad, was released in theaters on February 16, 2024 and was released on digital platforms on March 19, 2024—aka, about one month after opening in theaters. If Locked follows a similar pattern, you might see Locked movie on video-on-demand in about one month, around late April 2025.
But this is all speculation. Digital releases vary by title. If you want to see Locked right away, you can catch the movie in a theater.

Why Nicola Coughlan Is the Soul of ‘Bridgerton' and Deserves an Emmy Nomination
Anyone who's seen Nicola Coughlan in 'Derry Girls' knows that she's a brilliant comedic performer. As nerdy teenager Clare Devlin, Coughlan made teenage anxiety immensely physical and palpable — firing her dialogue with all the air in her lungs, walking with so much propulsive energy she was nearly tripping over herself. In 'Bridgerton' Season 3, Coughlan similarly portrays adolescent turmoil, but through subtler and more internal means. As wallflower Penelope Featherington, who harbors a double identity as the controversial Lady Whistledown, Coughlan was tasked not just with making the ton's resident introvert a mesmerizing lead but also with bringing humanity to her character's morally ambiguous actions. More from Variety 'Last of Us' Creator Craig Mazin Reminds Angry Fans That Pedro Pascal Lives On, Even if His Character Doesn't: 'He's Alive and He's in Literally Everything Else' 'Severance' Creator Dan Erickson Discusses the 'Depressing' Lumon Industries - While Touring Lumen, the Actual Name for Variety's Office Building 'There Is No Feud': Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood Tell All on Their 'White Lotus' Connection, a Cut Love Scene and Yes, Why He Unfollowed Her on Instagram Coughlan nails it: the hit Netflix show's third season sees Penelope fully step into the spotlight as a romantic interest. In Penelope's evolution, Coughlan captures how a young woman's coming of age is defined as much by her own personal choices as it is by her struggle against society's expectations for women. And Coughlan makes a case for herself as an excellent dramatic lead, the kind that Emmy voters should pay attention to. That's because Coughlan has to reconcile two conflicting aspects of her character. One is the standard teenage heroine. Penelope previously existed mainly on the sidelines, a spinster-to-be. Her transformation into the center of attention is literally represented through a glow-up: there's a scene in which she enters a ballroom sporting a completely different fashion and hair and makeup. Coughlan's tentative delight as she notices the amount of eyes on her instantly makes viewers root for her. She establishes Penelope as our favorite underdog. This idea is complicated by the fact that Penelope wields actual power as the anonymous writer behind an all-knowing gossip rag that can completely make or break someone's reputation. The journey that Penelope undergoes in becoming the main character is something Lady Whistledown already pulled off; Penelope has been the main character all along; it's just that now, she must own up to that status — including the hurt she caused to attain it. It's to Coughlan's credit that these emotional threads stay together. She grounds Penelope's characterization in a fundamental sincerity. Penelope's flaws are humanizing, never outright villainous, and neither are they completely ignored. She's an intelligent young person, but she's not immune to her age. Coughlan realistically captures what it's like to be in the throes of adolescence, fumbling toward the person you want to be. Take, for instance, the scenes when Penelope tries to flirt with a gentlemen for the first time. Her awkward attempts at conversation are incredibly entertaining and charming as Coughlan leans into the cringe. For all of Penelope's brilliance as a proto-journalist, she can't help her social inexperience. Similarly, Coughlan taps into a universal feeling when Penelope asks her childhood friend and longtime crush, Colin Bridgerton, to kiss her. Having just run away from a ballroom where everyone had been talking judgmentally about her, Penelope tells Colin, 'It would not have to mean anything.' Simply, 'I do not wish to die without ever having been kissed.' Coughlan brings heart and sensitivity to Penelope's longing for romantic validation. And in Penelope's pragmatic pursuit of a husband, Coughlan translates her character's internal struggle. Penelope must secure a marriage, but she's cautious about her romantic decisions, as she prizes her independence and, of course, her work. A shot of Coughlan's serving face in the midst of scribbling is certainly memeable, but Coughlan does make the viewer understand the gravity of Penelope's intellectual endeavors and her hesitation at giving them up for love. The night before Penelope's wedding to Colin, she tells dressmaker Madame Delacroix that 'I felt like I was losing a part of myself' when she attempted to stop writing. It is her ultimate form of self-expression. That's where Lady Whistledown originated from: a young woman's desire for agency. If Penelope's approach was messy and slightly misguided, Coughlan's portrayal indicates that her actions as Lady Whistledown sometimes reflected the missteps of youth. 'You were a girl who did not know her own power,' Madame Delacroix also reminds her. And so Coughlan imbues Penelope's acceptance of accountability with the same earnestness that she treats her character's first romantic encounters. Penelope decides that going forward, she'll punch up rather than punch down. As she states at one point, 'I should've been using the column to give a voice to the other voiceless.' Despite the clichéd declaration, Coughlan makes Penelope's good intentions and activist dedication believable. The night before her wedding, Madame Delacroix tells Penelope that 'there's no such thing as true love without first embracing your true self.' By the end, we see Penelope accept who she is, wallflower and alter ego combined. It's because of Coughlan's nuanced performance that this merging of selves lands so seamlessly.

Short and Sweet: From ‘Adolescence' to ‘Sirens,' This Season's Best New Shows Are Barely Longer Than a Movie
On the surface, freshman series 'Sirens,' 'The Bondsman,' 'Adolescence' and 'The Four Seasons' don't have much in common. Yet they are all key examples of TV's new trend of going short. Whether it's an absurdly low episode count ('Adolescence' with four, 'Sirens' with five) or brief runtimes ('The Bondsman' episodes rarely exceed 30 minutes, while 'The Four Seasons' tops out at 35 minutes), it's a relief from a culture where recommendations are cushioned with warnings that, 'The show doesn't really pick up until the eighth episode,' which begs the question, 'How much time do you think I have to watch all of these shows?!?' The good news is that the short lengths are sharpening the narrative punch, creating higher highs and having the decency to duck out before the good time ends. More from Variety Limited Series Writers on the Impact of Casting, Writing Emotional Journeys, and Finding a Tonal Balance David E. Kelley on Shaping 'Presumed Innocent' With Ruth Negga's Barbara as the Killer - Then Changing the Ending After Filming Began Comedy TV Writers on the Importance of Filming in Los Angeles, Sharing Soundstages and the Power of the Will They/Won't They Relationship Perhaps the best example is Netflix's 'Sirens.' It's easy to see the concept — a woman has to save her sister from a potential cult run by a mega-wealthy family — stretched out over dozens of episodes, leaning into the series' frothier moments and completely breaking any semblance of reality in order to stretch out the mysteries. Yet the show plays like a weekend at a luxe New England resort: Live a little but sneak out before the magic wears off and you're turning into a townie. The twists hit quickly, and you're left satisfied, an amuse-bouche of life among maniacal rich people. A similar mental vacation, though much more down to earth, is the midlife crisis dramedy 'The Four Seasons.' Each seasonal vacation is broken into two episodes, and the rigid structure is a compelling gift to the audience, as it allows for sensible time jumps in which things are shaken up between episodes. Lest any character in the Tina Fey-led ensemble seems too petty or pathetic, the dynamic has shifted by the next group trip. Because of this, the emotional weight never seems off-balance. 'The Bondsman' has the highest concept: A bounty hunter named Hub (Kevin Bacon) gets murdered and goes to hell but is allowed to return to Earth if he uses his skills to kill rogue demons. The short Prime Video episodes pair well with the 'monster of the week' setup, and the series doles out backstory on a need-to-know basis. Sure enough, as time goes on, we learn more about Hub's past, his family, his enemies and even the bureaucracy developed in hell. As for 'Adolescence,' the series is gorgeously acted and gut-wrenchingly realistic, but living in the world of a potentially evil British child for an extended amount of time is too much — especially considering the roaming camera gives the impression of oner, putting the audience right in the face of a grisly murder. Even an episode more would move the narrative from bold and impactful to emotionally taxing and unpleasant. The idea of a short drama is nothing new — one of the best series of all time, 'The Twilight Zone,' managed to tell a standalone story each week using a 30-minute network TV slot, complete with commercials. What's made modern times feel different is the bloat allowed by the no-rules streamers. Sure, it's fair to say we're miles away from 22-episode seasons of network fare. But that incremental pacing has been flipped on its head by a binging model, which also operates under the butt-numbing miscalculation that more is more. When it was announced that episodes in the back half of 'Stranger Things' Season 4 would match the runtimes of the '80s blockbusters the show remixed, it felt like any previous rules were completely off the table. After all, did the season finale of a show that once hovered around the 50-minute mark really need to arrive at two hours and 22 minutes? There is inevitably a 'pressure makes diamonds' situation at play when shows aim to tell a story in a succinct amount of time. During a conversation with 'The Bondsman' showrunner, executive producer and writer Erik Oleson, he mentioned that the succinct episode length forced him to make tough choices. 'I very much am an advocate that every character on one of my shows has to be worthy of being the hero of their own show,' he says. 'I don't underwrite or underbake characters, and so finding the space and time to give every one of our terrific actors their due was one of the bigger challenges that any showrunner faces, but certainly in a half-hour format it makes it all the more difficult.' That drive and determination allowed Oleson to shepherd a show that had plenty of character-building, laughs and scary moments — things were just cut down to the essentials, allowing the viewer to understand everything without luxuriating in the creative team's deep thoughts. Sometimes a story about a wisecracking demon hunter can just be that, and nothing more. Additionally, the truncated runtimes encourage visual storytelling where essential information is conveyed onscreen versus housed in a monologue dump that could drag the show down. The costumes alone of 'Sirens' immediately tell audiences all they need to know about Meghann Fahy's Devon, decked out in punky outfits and combat boots, kicking down the door of a Lilly Pulitzer fever dream. The nonstop camera of 'Adolescence' quickly sets the scene for viewers, as bits of caught conversation can simultaneously move the plot along as the perspective — ranging from high above the community to ground level — sets the scene. And what is not seen in 'The Four Seasons' is as important as what is, given that key moments take place off camera, leaving more time for unique reactions and fallout. There's a reason why one of Shakespeare's most well-known lines — 'Brevity is the soul of wit' — is a truism in writing. (Never mind that Polonius coined it somewhat ironically in 'Hamlet,' Shakespeare's longest play.) So, give a round of applause for the short shows — but make it quick, I've got more TV to watch.

Jamie Foxx honored with BET Icon Award, delivers tearful speech on surviving near-death crisis
Stevie Wonder presented the award, as Foxx reflected on gratitude and what it means to be seen by Black communities, bringing his two daughters to tears in the audience. Jamie Foxx was awarded the first of four BET Ultimate Icon Awards at the 25th anniversary of the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Monday evening. The award recognizes decades of groundbreaking contributions to music, entertainment, advocacy, and community impact, and Foxx's emotional acceptance speech brought many in the audience to tears with him. He delivered his speech getting choked up, expressing gratitude for being alive and for all those who supported him during a difficult time—including his two daughters, who were present. 'I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance, I'm not gone turn down. I have so much love to give,' Foxx said. 'And I promised, 'whatever reason you put this on me, I promise imma do right and imma do right in front of y'all. I know a lot of times when we get on, we forget about where we come from. When I did my special, it was in front of Black people. Black people was the one who said, 'I got you.'' In 2023, the Oscar-winning artist experienced a medical crisis while filming the Netflix movie Back in Action. He was hospitalized with what was initially described as a 'bad headache,' which later turned out to be a stroke, according to ABC News. He spent several weeks in the hospital, underwent surgery, and was in a coma for an extended period—a near-death experience. Foxx said that while watching the 'In Memoriam' segment during the show, he realized he could've been included. 'You can't go through something like that and not testify,' he said. Legendary musician Stevie Wonder presented the award to Foxx. The two have shared a longstanding friendship and even performed 'Isn't She Lovely' together during Oprah Winfrey's 25th Anniversary show. 'But I knew from the moment I heard you sing that you had so much more. I admire and celebrate your talent, your love—for blind people. I'm very happy to be here tonight and see you honored as you very well deserve,' Wonder said. 'Without further ado, here is my friend, a great legend of great talent award and the recipient of the BET Ultimate Icon Award—my friend Mr. Jamie Foxx.' There were also musical tributes leading up to Foxx's appearance, including a crowd-pleasing performance of 'Blame It' by the song's co-singer, T-Pain, and others. Foxx closed his remarks by underscoring the cultural weight of the BET honor. 'Thank you to BET for this wonderful award. I say this all the time, but thank you to Black people and the Black award,' he said. 'People think the Oscars is the biggest thing… but the Icon Award is the most important award because it's the award that comes from us.' Other honorees for the evening included Mariah Carey, Kirk Franklin, and Snoop Dogg, who were also recognized with BET Ultimate Icon Awards for their enduring impact.
