Rutger Hauer lost his way a bit in the late 80s/early 90s but that said, his films were the talk of the school playground back in the day. 'Have you seen Blind Fury'?, have you seen 'Wedlock'?, I didn't see either until recently so I was one of the sad kids. Much like Blind Fury was an update of the Zatoichi films, Wedlock is an update of The Defiant ones (with exploding heads). It's pretty good fun too, it's no masterpiece but it never takes itself too seriously. Rutger Hauer films are generally brilliant because of Rutger Hauer. If you want a proper 'Futuristic prison escape movie though, see Fortress starring Christopher Lambert, its much better and stars a who's who of modern b-movie favourites.
