Wedlock
Wedlock
I fremtidens fængsler er der ikke brug for gitre eller mure. I stedet forsynes fangerne med hver sin Wedlock, et elektronisk halsbånd der detonerer, hvis man forsøger at fjerne det - eller befinder sig mere end hundrede meter fra den hemmelige medfange, som man er lænket sammen med via Wedlock'en. Frank Warren dømmes til livstid efter at have iscenesat et raffineret diamantkup, gemt udbyttet og derfor forrådt af sine medsammensvorne. Men hurtigt lykkes det ham at finde ud af, hvem hans hemmelige medfange er, og flygter sammen med hende. I den vanvittige jagt, der nu følger, må Frank slås mod både politiet og medsammensvorne, samt holde rede på udbyttet, få fjernet sprængladningen omkring sin hals og dermed sin forhadte medfange - alt i mens hans vanvid til stadighed vokser. Frank Warren skal ikke "springes i luften" af sin Wedlock!

My quick rating - 5.3/10. I know I watched this back at WCV but I don't remember it at all, just the cover. I didn't expect this movie to actually hold up quite so well. Rutger Hauer is a jewel thief who gets double-crossed and left for dead after a heist. But the betrayal fails since their attempt at killing him isn't completed, and he also had ample time to stash the diamonds away. That is merely the start of this, since after he recovers, he is sent to a maximum-security prison that uses a new technology known as the "wedlock," which is a collar that two people are matched together unbeknownst to each other that explodes if they get separated from one another. The rest of this thriller consists of that story and where it goes, which I cannot go further into without spoilers. Suffice it to say, it is a fun, futuristic romp that doesn't take itself too seriously while providing some decent action and tongue-in-cheek humor along the way. For a primetime made-for-TV flick, it doesn't often end up this good and especially 40 years later.
