Total Recall
In need of a vacation from his ordinary life, factory worker Douglas Quaid
(Colin Farrell) visits Rekall, a company that can turn dreams into real
memories. Thinking that memories of life as a superspy are just the ticket,
Quaid undergoes the procedure – but it goes horribly wrong. Suddenly, Quaid
is a hunted man. He teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) on a search to
find the head of the underground resistance and take down the leader (Bryan
Cranston) of the free world.
Critic Reviews:
- " The richly constructed first hour is so superior to any feat of sci-fi
speculation since “Minority Report” that the bland aftertaste of the chase
finale is quickly forgotten. " – Joe Williams
- " This is a taut, serviceable sci-fi thriller with a couple of neat
visual ideas, and if you're not familiar with either the Schwarzenegger version
or the original story, the brain-bending twists alone will take you a reasonably
long way. " – Dana Stevens
