I am going to give Outland a try. I missed that one (primarily because I was
still in university and didn't pay attention to films in theatre very much).
But I like Sean Connery - and in this film - he actually wanted the role.

Surrugates sounds interesting too. Bruce Willis brings some good fun in most
of his films. A couple of oldies of his - which also seemed to be box-office
bombs - are Hudson Hawk and Last Man Standing.  The first is a comedy/action
flick.  The latter is a classy dark film noire kind of thing - the ending is
superb.
