Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDanny Trejo makes a brief appearance as a tough convict murdered by Emerald (Basil Wallace), witnessed by Frank (Rutger Hauer).
- GoofsIf you get separated from your wedlock partner for more than 100 yards, the wedlock starts beeping first, and you have couple of seconds to get back within 100 yards, as demonstrated multiple times during the movie. So, why didn't somebody just step over the line for a few seconds, and then find out whose wedlock beeped? Then, they could escape any time they wanted.

Featured review
Thought this movie went at a rather good pace.
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"?
