Outland (1981)



A federal marshal stationed at a mining colony on the Jupiter moon of Io, uncovers a drug-smuggling conspiracy.

From memory: Above-average science faction action drama has great production design and some suspense, but it's nothing more than a Western set in space.

Halliwell (no star): "Ludicrous, over-plotted outer-space version of High Noon, in such thick colour that the action is hard to follow."

Maltin**1/2: "Slickly made, but predictable and unpleasant in tone."
