Hollywood seems to like remakes, and they really like Philip K. Dick – so we now have another Total Recall. Is this as good as the previous Total Recall, no. Is it even a good movie – not really. I will say this version of Total Recall is very fast paced, the film can’t seem to go five minutes without having an explosion, a shoot out, or some other random act of violence. So people who like action films should end up being entertained.
But the movie drops the ball on developing and creating characters that the audience can empathize with – usually sacrificing precious character development time for a few extra explosions. Total Recall has some nice special effects, but that’s about the only nice thing about it.
