Popular Sci-fi movie and one of Arnold's best

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2007)

Seventeen years on, Total Recall is one of the most popular sci-fi movies out. The special effects and make up are still top notch. This is also one of Arnold's best movies up there with the Terminator movies. The movie is interlaced with a thought-provoking plot and a lot of violence and gore, with some moments of humour. Besides Robocop, Total Recall is one of Paul Verhoeven's best movies that he has directed to date. Sharon Stone, in an early role, is excellent as Douglas Quaid's wife. It's a shame that Rachel Ticotin has not had any major roles, but she is memorable as Milena, an ally from Quaid's past. Michael Ironside nails his role as the volatile Richter. Ronny Cox as Vilos Cohaagen was a little similar to his character Dick Jones in Robocop, but Cohaagen is more ruthless and sinister.
Overall, Total Recall is highly recommended to all sci-fi lovers and Arnold fans. Unless you have a weak stomach, check out this movie if you have not done so already. Get ready for the ride of your life.
10/10.
