“Lockdown” (*1/2 out of four) was a tawdry suspense thriller about a criminal mastermind (Michael Wainright) who overtakes a police station and holds them hostage unless his demands are met; it’s up to a rogue F.B.I. agent (Michael Pare) to try to save the day and save the hostages and defeat the terrorist at his own game. Juicy storyline sounds like a cross between “Assault At Precinct 13” and “Die Hard” but feels more like an assault on the senses instead; sleazy and stupid. Pare could play this role in his sleep by now and is in a few scenes.
