A lot of artificial reviews propping this turkey up...

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2013)

This film drags. The story is poor, fails to engage and the dialogue is absolute drivel. The film is a VERY poor mans Total Recall. The special effects are excellent, as you might expect, but the film is an absolute turkey. The average rating will drop right down over the coming months; I can only assume a lot of Cruise fans or Scientologists are being VERY generous - an all too common phenomenon these days. Avoid like the plague; or better still - go and watch some paint dry, or grass grow.
The whole I lost my memory, I'm living with someone who isn't my wife, my real wife randomly turns up and I turn vigilante for the rebels has been done to death and far, far better. Its almost farcical watching how EVERY single shot is shot to make Cruise look tall - I mean, you only get head shots upper torso or legs - no close-up full boy in the entire movie. There are so many plot holes, you just want to sigh at the screen and shake your head. I'm generally a Cruise fan - no really - but this is not a good vessel, not a good story and sure as hell not a good film. For effect junkies, you'll enjoy the CG - but that's literally all.
