Anyone who has felt their relationship tested by quarantine (no need to raise hands, we see you) will at least partially relate to “Locked Down,” which takes the idea of a couple trapped by those circumstances, then builds an improbable heist plot around it. Thanks to Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway it’s mildly watchable, but

Before suiting up as Marvel’s Falcon again on Disney+, Anthony Mackie produces and stars in “Outside the Wire,” a futuristic action vehicle that thinks inside the box and feels as generic as its title.
