Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
'Total Recall' is Hollywood at its worst: pointless, witless, and so very unnecessary.

rotten:
"Total Recall" is a toned-down, smoothed-out version of an amped-up, bug-eyed classic.

This is a taut, serviceable sci-fi thriller with a couple of neat visual ideas, and if you're not familiar with either the Schwarzenegger version or the original story, the brain-bending twists alone will take you a reasonably long way.

Casting and visuals are an upgrade, but we get far too many action sequences and not enough of the mind games.

I was no particular fan of the first Total Recall, but I confess that this flat, by-the-numbers remake made me a tad nostalgic for its bombastic preposterousness.
