Top Critics Reviews

It's not a masterpiece, but it is a fast-moving thriller, one worth revisiting (and, evidently, remaking).

Total Recall is too much -- but it's too much of a good thing.

fresh:
A worthy entry in the dystopian cycle launched by Blade Runner, this seems less derivative than most of its predecessors yet equally accomplished in its straight-ahead storytelling, with plenty of provocative satiric undertones and scenic details.

Melding the ever-more-workable Schwarzenegger mystique with a better-than-average science-fiction premise, the director Paul Verhoeven has come up with a vigorous, superviolent interplanetary thriller that packs in wallops with metronomic regularity.
