Unlocked: A Non-Spoiler Review
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Some things will tell you almost immediately that this film did not have a big budget, however, that’s not essential to make a decent mystery/thriller film. This film, in an hour and a quarter certainly managed to entertain me for a lot of its runtime.
Law of the Land: A Non-Spoiler Review
Reading Time: 3 minutes
The immediate appeal of this film, for me, was that the lead is Ville Virtanen, who I had previously watched in shows such as Bordertown, Rebecka Martinsson: Arctic Murders and The Truth Will Out and the film Knocking (previously reviewed here).

Maybe Baby: A Non-Spoiler Review
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Babies accidentally swapped at birth or shortly thereafter isn’t a new idea but it happening even before they are even born is.
