The film looks good, with relatively understated special effects that cleverly create the atmosphere of the moon community as a kind of Wild West in outer space, populated by conmen and desperados. The cast give decent performances, in an undemanding sort of way, mostly playing it straight and avoiding the goofy slapstick that would have made this film excruciating. All the bit roles and cameos for star character actors and scene-stealers help a lot! But the film never seems to be anything besides a bit of poorly plotted fluff. The storyline is so trite and lame that we couldn't care less about the characters; the big twist at the end is just plain stupid. And there are only perhaps two jokes that make us laugh. All that aside, the film is still oddly watchable due to a brisk and breezy tone and the surprisingly solid cast. But five minutes after it ends you'll be hard pressed to remember one single thing about it.
