Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Audio Sync...Need some!, March 29, 2009

Very poorly done, I remember this when it was DeadLock and not
WedLock, my best guess is, when they, for what ever reason, decided
to rename it to WedLock, they had to dub in voice tracks to cover
up any words that mentioned DeadLock and let me tell you, the voice
sync is WAY off, I will email Amazon to see if I can return this
but being open, they may not allow it?
SO, my 1 star is for the VERY poor quality of the audio track sync
the movie itself is ok as I am a long time Rutger fan
So be forwarned of this audio glitch,
G2

4.0 out of 5 stars Picky Picky..., March 29, 2008

Picky, picky.... - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wedlock (DVD)

I haven't seen this version yet, but if it's the exact same as when it was originally released as "Deadlock" (only available on VHS as far as I know), then it's a great early 90's movie. Rutger Hauer has a certain 'style' of acting that you either love or hate, but if you like him, you'll like this movie. Sure, his inevitable hook-up with Mimi's character is formulaic, but overall it's an interesting watch.

4.0 out of 5 stars RIVETING......, December 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Deadlock [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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........
