Review of Total Recall (1990) by Brad G — 25 Jun 2012
"I Am Quaid." The iconic action of Arnold Schwarzenegger meets the beautifully horrific ultra violence of Paul Verhoeven. Total Recall is a bloody, limb tossing science-fictiony action flick that might butcher the source material, but it doesn't really matter when you're having this much fun freeing Mars.
Michael Ironside's spurned government assassin is a scenery chewing monstrosity and he really does rank as one of Arnie's best foils. And Ronny Cox hits the Robocop rewind playing another wonderful corporate tool.
And Marshall Bell's Stomach Man!!!! Yes! Total Recall is the best kind of over-the-top. VF.
