Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
We are in 'Little America', a domed city on the moon in the year 2087 - visualise a budget Blade Runner. Ex-jailbird Pluto Nash (Murphy) is a successful nightclub owner. Gambling has been banned back on Earth so gangster Mogan (Pantoliano) demands Nash sells up in order to turn his Club Pluto into a casino. 'Course Nash ain't about to get jerked by no hoods. Donning a moon suit and several other questionable fashion statements, and with rusty robot pal Bruno (Quaid) and sexy chanteuse Dina (Dawson) in tow, he, er, drives fast cars, shoots at people and makes lame jokes. Some diverting cameos, but Murphy struggles to keep this one grounded.Author: JFu
