Outland

This is definitely a sci-fi Western (Neil and Chris, you guys would like it). A lone Marshall played by Sean Connery takes on corruption in a small mining town on Jupiter's moon, Io. The reveal comes early, so it becomes more about his struggle against greed and corruption. I enjoyed it. The setting was appropriate given the genre, and there is a nice little surprise performance by the gritty, foul-mouthed doctor stationed there by the company. I'd also say that the critique of the corporation feels a little bit cyberpunky as well.

I watched this on Netflix instant movie.
