Beckinsale is the only cast member who comes out rosey here, and frankly I wouldn't mind a spin off movie about her character.

With a new generation of visual effects at his command, director Len Wiseman has the ability to paint on a broader canvas, but since we see this caliber of movie magic on a regular basis it's no longer an Event.

I was no particular fan of the first Total Recall, but I confess that this flat, by-the-numbers remake made me a tad nostalgic for its bombastic preposterousness.

A generic, inconsequential sci-fi caper that looks slick and has a famous title, and offers little else, no matter how many nipples the whores have.

The very fast, very loud, very dynamic, very cartoony-violent 'Total Recall' remake will make you feel like you've been hit in the face with a brick for two hours.

'Total Recall' is Hollywood at its worst: pointless, witless, and so very unnecessary.

"Total Recall" is a toned-down, smoothed-out version of an amped-up, bug-eyed classic.

Bland all the way through, from dialogue to action and everything in between. It's not a missed opportunity - just a total waste of time.

More or less serviceable action thriller with some nice ideas for visual set pieces, but did it really have to be as long as it is?

Casting and visuals are an upgrade, but we get far too many action sequences and not enough of the mind games.

It would rather be a blockbuster than a mind-bender. It turns out to be neither.

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.
