Recalling is long overrated and in Quaid's position, incredibly dangerous. The remake of a sci-fi classic is turned upside down, literally.
"Total Recall" has at first sight a beautiful chaotic look that resembles a cross between "Blade Runner" and "I Robot" with an amazing amount of action for the audience's patience and delight. If one thing, it is definitely not boring. There is no time for questioning the direction of the story, even though it has a completely different take on the original.
I still love the 90's version by the great Paul Verhoeven, staring Schwarzenegger when he was still at the height of his stardom, but Colin Farrel is not so bad as a hero trying to save the world or at least what is left of it. Great entertainment.
