Outstanding move.......2007-04-30
Wearing a bomb around your neck, until across the white line, then BOOM!
Exploding Prison Collars.......2005-07-25
Some may remember this film for the sceen that depicts a uni-sex prison of the future in which each prisoner has an electronic collar placed around his or her neck. Each collar is paired with another at random. If an inmate gets 100 feet from the unknow prisoner wearing the matching collar it puts out a shock... if the inmate goes a little further it blows up both collars, killing both inmates. I saw this movie long ago, and it's obviously utterly forgetable, save for the shocking scene I described above. For some reason that scene stayed with me even when the ENTIRE movie, name, plot and all, fadded from memory. It took me a little while to track this one down.
No prison can hold Rutger.......2004-06-29
Modern prison of the future... Prison with no fences and yet no one escaped from there. In this prison convicts are guards to each others, and lethal collars are preventing them to run away. Add Rutger Hauer as main star and we have a big shot! A lot of action, fun and Rutger's cold humor. Plus, he has lovely Mimi Rogers as wedlock partner and what more do you need?! This is TV movie but it is very good, a lot better than many new films that we can see in theaters these days.
No prison can hold Rutger.......2004-06-29
Modern prison of the future, prison without fences but lethal for anyone who tries to escape. Add Rutger Hauer as main star and you have big shot! Interesting action scenes, a lot of fun and Rutger's cold humor. This is TV movie, but it's a lot better than many I've seen in theaters lately. It surely deserves *****.
a fun movie.......2004-05-26
This is a fun movie. Caught it on HBO. If you like breaking out of prison movies with some twist and turns; this one does it for you. Joan Chen as the two timing bitch girlfriend is fun to watch.

What a treasure of a film i found in the $5.50 bin at Walmart the other day!.......2005-11-16
Set in the turn of the 19th century, on the island of Nova Scotia. It's about an Irish-Scottish coal mining family and the hardships they face. It's very realistic in it's portrayal of home life of that period...and a nice performance by the young lady playing the oldest daughter (who just happens to look a lot like Megan Follows).
It's not really a typical horse film, and definately not for the tiny tots, but it is an enjoyable and worthwhile family film for anyone above the age of 8. There are some mature and scary themes, including death of family members (One body being displayed on the kitchen table). So you'll want to use discretion.
Overall it's not a great film, but it is very well made and well acted. Young boys of ten an older will surely benefit from watching it. As there are some good messages to learn from the story.
**** 4 Stars! Highly recommended.

This is a great show........2006-01-17
I think this show is great,Avonlea,and Emily of New Moon.First rate shows get more.Thanks 1/16/06{16/1/2006}.
Pit Pony - great tv show.......2005-08-09
The first complete season is something we waited for after seeing the first ten episodes. We never knew this show existed and it is a shame it only lasted two seasons. A great dramatic family show that draws you into the characters rather than the plot. You wonder what is happening to each character. The girl who plays Jennie is absolutely wonderful and the Ned character is top notch too.
We are waiting patiently for the second season so we can see Natalie MacMaster guest star.
If you liked Anne of Green Gables and the Avonlea series, you will love this series. Not as carefree and happy go lucky as those shows, they show a poorer family struggling to make ends meet and provides a glimpse of a time where getting ahead was not as important as just surviving.
Average customer rating:
- A-minus concept, B-plus execution
- RIVETING......
- Good Rutger Hauer+Mimi Rogers combo.
- The whole cast is excellent.

A science-fiction adventure that steals from Alfred Hitchcock's 39 Steps and Stanley Kramer's Defiant Ones. Director Lewis Teague may not be in the same league as those two directors, but he did a dandy job with this futuristic prison flick. Originality may not be its strong card, but Deadlock offers appealing performances by Mimi Rogers and Rutger Hauer. They play convicts linked by high-tech neckbands that explode if one prisoner ventures more than 100 yards from another prisoner with a matching collar. None of the inmates knows to whom they are paired, so all are forced to stick around. When Rogers and Hauer discover that their collars match, the duo embark on a gutsy prison break. Of course, they must to stay together as they head for the diamonds he hid before his arrest. This may not be art, but it is, ah, a great escape. --Rochelle O'Gorman

A-minus concept, B-plus execution.......2003-12-29
I'd like to see this one on DVD. It's a pretty good movie.
The idea behind it is extremely clever. Rutger Hauer (who was so hauntingly dangerous in _Blade Runner_ and so terrifyingly menacing in _The Hitcher_) is here cast somewhat against type as an electronics wizard who is enlisted into a diamond heist by a beautiful woman (Joan Chen) and then double-crossed. Off he goes to an experimental maximum-security prison.
The really clever bit is how the prison works. There are no walls holding the prisoners in; instead, each prisoner wears a collar with a charge of plastic explosive in it. Will it go off if they step outside the prison boundaries? Nope, that wouldn't be secure enough (or sadistic enough either). Instead, each prisoner is _paired_ with one other prisoner (in what is euphemistically called 'wedlock') and their collars attuned to each other so that if they get more than 100 yards apart -- powie. And since nobody knows which prisoner s/he is paired with, nobody can ever get more than 100 yards from anybody else.
Unless, that is, a pair of partners could _find out_ that they were partners and escape together. I won't give away any of the plot developments, but since Mimi Rogers is Hauer's co-star, you can probably do the math here.
The credible-at-best dialogue isn't going to win any awards or anything, but at least we don't run out of plot before we run out of movie. Stuff keeps happening right up to the end, most of it clever, some of it deliberately funny, and all of it kept personable by Hauer and Rogers. And there's some nice play (occasionally sharp-edged and satirical) with the concept of wedlock that makes the thing worth rewatching.
Drawbacks? The budget obviously wasn't very big here and it's pretty clear some corners were cut. Then, too, some of it is derivative of _Cool Hand Luke_, _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_, and any number of other loner-individualist-in-prison and/or two-outlaws-on-the-run flicks.
Nevertheless it's a good, reliable movie that won't disappoint you if you like this sort of thing. If it ever shows up on DVD, grab it; until then, the VHS version is serviceable if you can get it.
RIVETING.............2001-12-05
The concept is totally progressive and intriguing while you get totally drawn into this wildly insane and intense "game of life" For anyone who wants some excitement for a couple of hours! But beware, it will stick in your brain - - this could very well be the future........
Good Rutger Hauer+Mimi Rogers combo........1999-08-22
Good science fiction, with a novel twist (prisoners are kept together by explosive neck-braces that will explode if they are seperated more than 100 yards) is nearly done in by mediocre production values and a plot that nearly deteriorates near the end. The love story is pretty pale too, though Hauer and Rogers make it worth seeing.
The whole cast is excellent........1999-06-15
A science fiction movie that is different. A very good cast (Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, Mimi Rogers, James Remar). A few twists that add to the suspense. Very well done.
