If you like Sean Connery, and you like him kicking ass you'll like this film. Although the film itself may not be the cream of hollywood but the sheer stage presence of Connery pulls it up several levels. The storyline of a cop wanting to see if he's bigger than a corrupt system maybe a fairly old clichéd story. But this film pulls it off very well with a fresh approach on the moon of IO. I'll admit that I do love industrial and futuristic sets and story lines, the kind of sets that only the 80s could achieve. Now that I think about it I never considered it was on a set or it wasn't real. Probably because the movie is always moving with either action and pretty entertaining dialogue, especially between Connery and the station manager (who is perfectly smarmy and arrogant). If you love the 80s films and Connery- watch this.
