The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The actual plot idea is quite good - a high security prison where inmates are kept from leaving by hi-tech collars around their necks. I wonder if the exploding collar idea came from an earlier science fiction action movie "The Running Man" (1987) with Schwarzenegger ? There is some similarity to "The Defiant ones". One scene reminded me of "Speed" . The title is something of a metaphor for our lead character, as he didn't had luck with women in the past.This movie is action/thriller with a rather small science-fiction element ( probably because of the low budget) . The movie definitely suffers from small budget that didn't allow some interesting ideas to be explored ( The cars have bar-codes instead of license plates ) . The movie is supposed to be set in the future , but the world didn't really changed at all . this "future" could very easily be mistaken for 1991, when the movie was made. "Wedlock" suffers from it's made-for-video-status .Despite having impressive cast ( for a B-class movie ) – Rutger Hauer , Joan Chen (Chen and Hauer met earlier in "Salute of the Jugger" ), Mimi Rogers and Stephen Tobolowsky – acting is a weak side of the movie . Why so experienced actors give such bad , cartoonish-like performances I will never know. Stephen Tobolowsky was very unconvincing as the hard nosed prison warden.The action scenes are forgettable and the plot twists are rather painfully obvious. The dialogues are trashy. The relationship between Frank and fellow escapee played by Mimi Rogers is forced and arbitraryThe film looked very promising, but the end result was really bad. I would like to see a remake of this one with better cast and budget. I give it 2/10.

Well, it doesn't break any boundaries or try to be anything particularly special, but Wedlock takes influence from films such as The Running Man and ends up with a fun and entertaining little thriller. As you would expect, the film offers little in the way of surprises; so it's a good job that getting from A to B is fun to watch. The film's main gimmick is the idea of a futuristic prison in which the inmates have to wear collars. This ensures that all the prisoners are constantly watching each other, as if your collar gets one hundred yards away from your partner's collar - both your heads explode! Naturally, no one knows who is whose partner, so the prison is pretty secure (I can't be the only one who thinks this could work in REAL prisons...). The film focuses on Frank Warren; a would-be robber who is double crossed by his girlfriend and ends up in the futuristic jail. Before getting double-crossed, our hero was smart enough to hide the diamonds that he stole. The head of the jail wants these gems for himself, and after Frank and his partner escape from the prison - a game of cat and mouse ensues.The film relies a lot on it's lead star Rutger Hauer, and while this isn't his best performance of all time; it's suitably different from his more popular roles (Blade Runner, The Hitcher), and he makes for an offbeat action hero. He is joined by Mimi Rogers, who is good in support; as well as Stephen Tobolowsky, who steals every scene he's in. The action doesn't come thick and fast; but Wedlock benefits from this, as the action is good when it comes and the scenes between the lead characters are always interesting enough to keep the film worth watching. Standout scenes include a bus chase and obligatory exploding head scene. The title is something of a metaphor for our lead character, as his luck with women isn't exactly enviable, and the way that the collars lock the two main characters together makes for some interesting drama. The main problem with the plotting is that it constantly hints at what's going to come next; and even the central twist isn't all that shocking when it comes about. However, if you go into Wedlock expecting just good entertainment; it's a lot of fun, and therefore comes recommended to B-movie fans!

Wedlock is a good movie about how a man (Rutger Hauer) and his girl fried (Joan Chen) and his friend (James Remar) steal 25 million dollars of diamonds.As they are escaping form the cops they get separated and Rutger Hauer's character stashes the diamonds and then he meets back up with his accomplishes only to get betrayed and shot 3 times and left for dead.Rutger did not die so he gets sent to a futuristic uni sex prison where there are only a few guards and no walls but all of the prisoners have a wedlock collar on and if they cross a line on the ground there head with explode because they are 100 yards away from there unknown wedlock partner.And then one day a woman prisoner (Mimi Rogers) tells him that she is his wedlock partner so they escape together and they are on the run from the cops,Rutger's ex partners and they still have booms around there necks so they still can not go more then 100 yards away from each other.The best actor in this movie is by far Ruter Hunter i have not seen all of his movies but his best movies that i have seen are wedlock,Escape From Sobibor,Blind Fury and Surviving The Game.The are a few good scenes in this movie like how two of the prisoners heads explode and the end of this movie id good.Over all if u like Sci-Fi/action movies i think that u will like this movie.My rating for this movie is six and a half out of ten.

Starts out as a heist gone wrong picture, turns into a sf prison flick, then turns into a kinda neat variant on THE DEFIANT ONES, then turns into "unlikely opposites attract" sort of thing, then turns into a conventional action flick of the era (ever notice how they all climax in abandoned industrial buildings?). A lot of ideas in here, but nothing's really developed and in general it just looks and feels cheap and depressing. Hauer, who I normally really like, is just collecting a check; Remar and inexplicably Chen are way over the top. Bits of gore here and there: for some reason no nudity. Odd scene where Mimi Rogers busts up a wedding: feels like a romantic comedy from the period getting shoehorned in. Pretty sucky, avoid.
