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.
- Quotes
[Frank is using Sam as a shield as Noelle aims a gun at him]

Sam: She is cute, isn't she?
[Noelle shoots Sam]
Sam: Ahh! You hit me, you bitch!
Noelle: Sorry honey, but I did it for the money.
Frank: Looks like she fucked us both.
Sam: Yeah. Hey, you want her back?

Featured review
I love Rutger Hauer. He is a cool and funny actor that isn't afraid to get his hands wet and try anything out of the ordinary.
Wedlock isn't one of his stranger ones, but it is definitely one of his best!
Set in the near future, Rutger joins Mimi Rodgers at a new top security prison that straps bombs to prisoners necks (much like Battle Royale) so they can't escape.
Each prisoner is 'wedlocked' to another so that if one blows, the other soon follows!
With Mimi by his side, Rutger and co-star go on an adventure that sends them in search of the object that got him imprisoned in the first place... $25 million worth of diamonds.
With the bad guys hot on the heels, things start to go a little 'Fletch' at times with some great action scenes, hilarious one liners and more.
The film is great entertainment and one I had wished I watched earlier!
