Forget OUTLAND, this is really HIGH NOON under the sea., 1 August 2005
Author: rixrex from United States

Many comments comparing this to Outland, but those commentors either never saw or have forgotten High Noon. Outland used to be called High Noon in outer space, and this one is High Noon under the sea. That being what it is, this actually has a pretty nice B-movie quality about it and is tight, well-paced, and probably one of Dean Caine's best outings. It never lagged, always made sense, no loose ends, and definitely has some decent effects, but not overpowering the story. A much more thoughtful B-movie than most and with good production values. Caine is fun to watch as the Marshall who can get no help, thankfully he's not a pitiful figure, but instead accepts his duty to go one against three. It's what John Wayne would have been like if he'd had the lead in High Noon. Of course he and John Ford hated that film anyway, and thankfully they showed it with their later stuff.
