Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
kai ringler after a heist gone wrong our hero is thrown into prison, no big deal because he's already hidden all the loot from his cheating partners,, only problem is with this prison is that you are assigned a partner,, and each of you have to wear a collar around you're neck,, but the collar's are filled with explosives,, so when you get so many feet in distance between each other,, both of you're heads get blown clean off.. while in jail he meets up with a woman who says she knows who his partner is,, and she can safely disarm the collars,, also we have a greedy warden who knows about the heist gone wrong and offers our hero a chance at redemption if he will tell the warden where the jewels are,, after breaking out of prison successfully,, our hero is on the trail of the jewels,, along with his new jailbird friend,, together they must find the diamonds, before his ex partners and the law find him.
Bene Cumb Wedlock is a movie in the good 1980ies tradition where drama, fun and thrill were intertwined. Although the ending can be considered predictable, lots of twists and turns during the movie do not let the tension diminish. Of course, Rutger Hauer and Mimi Rogers exploit also their talent in making the movie enjoyable (however, other actors are not bad either).The movie is definitely recommended to them who like to spend some 1h 40 minutes in a thrilling yet not oppressive atmosphere. And last but not least: the movies with Rutger Hauer's participation are usually worth watching - and Wedlock is no exception.
Aaron1375 I enjoyed this movie, but then I always enjoy a good Rutger Hauer movie, or even a bad one for that matter. This movie has him as a convict in a prison who was betrayed by his girlfriend and by his buddy during a heist. He is sent to this weird prison though that is quite different from most. Here there is a mix of male and female prisoners...they even get to have a night a week they can get together. Water must be conserved, and the prisoners all get cute collars which are linked up to another prisoner and if these two get to separated they explode taking off the wearers head. Yes, only mild differences to be found here, eh? So after awhile at the prison, our hero ends up escaping said prison and must do certain things in order to find the loot that was hid and to keep themselves together or their heads are going to be blown off! So you get your differing ways for them to get separated and at times they have to get creative in keeping together. The flow of the movie is rather fast, and the ending to me was just perfect. Though one has to wonder if the exploding collar idea came from an earlier science fiction action movie "The Running Man"?
Agt.Dale I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I thought it was a clever premise with interesting, off-beat characters. An "A" B-movie. The pacing is relentless; the action set-pieces are uniquely thrilling; the dialogue crisp and witty; and Richard Gibbs score is perfectly haunting. Joan Chen is a great villainess and has all the best lines. All in all: a small gem, a rousing thrill-ride with lots of surprises.
