Total Recall

Rent It!



It's fun. It really moves. It's completely different from the original.

The only failure here is the disconnection from the original plot concept. This movie would have done just fine without the memory implant scene. The writers could have used just about any plot device to trigger the protagonist's real identity and gone from there because it's not central to this version.   I suppose they wrote it this way to somehow make the movie seem less like the SciFi version of the Bourne Identity.

It's wonderful escapist fantasy nonetheless.  Rent It!
