We can remember a better version for you


Total Recall (2012)

Directed by Len Wiseman this film based on a Philip K. Dick story stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. A man discovers he is a secret agent with no memory of his past and that the life he has been living is a lie.

Although this is supposed to be an adaptation it is more of a remake of the 1990 film of the same name with with it shares many plot elements. Most of the problems with this film come from the weak script which lacks character development, emotional depth or capitalising on the more interesting sci-fi elements of the story. When it comes to the execution of the film there are some really interesting locations but the film is nearly ruined by use of lens flare that would make some of J. J. Abrams recent films look subtle.

2/5
