In prison, all the inmates wear collars which are electronically joined to those of an unknown partner. The collars will explode if either partner gets more than 300 feet away from the other. Warren is determined to escape, however, and finds that his partner is Tracy Riggs (Mimi Rogers). They plan and execute an elaborate escape and head off to search for the stolen diamonds. But members of Warren's former gang pursue them. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Clint Morris, Film Threat
An imaginative, fun and super-charged actioner....undeniably silly, but still appealing

Very good marks to this high-tech update of <i>The Defiant Ones</i>, which pairs Rutger Hauer and Mini Rogers (both superb) as convicts linked by futuristic collars necessitating their remaining in close proximity... at the risk of impromptu decapitations.
