Review of Total Recall (2012) by Allystew — 17 Sep 2012
Forget the original Arnie version as there are not many similarities other than memory loss. This version plays it straight. However I would have liked to have to think more, given the "Inception" like premise of dreaming or not dreaming.
I liked the interesting update of the story to suit a current world obsessed with "taking down the terrorists". The action scenes are eye poppingly good with a crazy hover car chase a stand out zero gravity scene.
Farrell and Beckinsale are good but for me there was no heart to the story and I'm afraid it was kept too simple to stop the summer audience getting confused.
