Review of Total Recall (1990) by Thomas P — 09 May 2015
A spectacle, at the time, of stunning stunts and frenetic energy sadly overshadowed by X-rated violence and overly gratuitous language not suited for the otherwise playfully cartoonish characters and decidedly over the top handling of a gritty detective story.
I first saw bits and pieces of this when it was posted down and made for t.v. back in the 90s, and purchased the dvd today.
Some things held up very well, but others didn't.
Overall, it tried to be too many things - a gritty crime drama, a comical sci-fi adventure, and a futuristic suspense amnesia whodunit, and tho it hits at times, it also misses.
2 out of 5.
