Total Recall Reviews

Movie Reviews

• you'll be shouting stop, stop, on the soul of Syd Barrett please make it stop! That is precisely what watching Len Wiseman's "Total Recall" is like

  Review rate : C- by Jordan Hoffman [Film.com ]

• you won't need Rekall Inc. to erase this movie from your memory, as it will evaporate quickly on its own

  by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]

• Wiseman shows minimal to moderate facility for shaping a complicated action sequence

  by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune ]

• Wiseman adds some special effects and Michael Bay-style pyrotechnics, but the result is similar. It's doubly deflating because one of the great advantages of remaking a movie is being given the opportunity to correct problems

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• while it borrows the title from the 1990 film and claims more fidelity to the original story, it borrows its look, feel and attitude from pretty much every other science-fiction film released in the past 22 years

  by James Rocchi [MSN Movies ]

• this Total Recall will make you feel robbed as well. It's two hours you'll never get back and every minute is a bad memory

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• this "Recall" plays it safe, and while that doesn't make it a failure, it's also not a total success

  by Randy Myers [San Jose Mercury News ]

• it's big and it's loud, but ultimately not much more than that

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• is another remake that didn't need to be made

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• I think I remember this. It could just be a memory implant from the last time I dropped into Rekall Inc
