Ohhh, it's such bad P.C.!

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2001)

Man, I can't believe the wimps that retch up their paisley comments on this movie. "Again, good story, lighten up on the violence a bit and focus on plot, please" or "It is a movie that suffers from being excessively violent, not only in quantity but also in gore. When things start to get too bloody it takes away from having fun." I swear I must live in a dream world like the character in this movie, Arnold was most famous for violent action movies in the 80's this film was made in the early 90's what movie did these people think they were seeing? Do they recognize the name Arnold Schwarzenegger? It was made before the miserable Kindergarten Cop, Junior or any other "life-affirming" junk he did later so what is there reference? Did I miss Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hamlet?
Did these people go to see the latest Julia Roberts/Richard Gere Disney project, walk into the wrong cinema and sit down? Verhoeven and Schwarzenegger, what a combination, I've never seen such fun in one film. Violence, sleaze, action! Next time you go to an action film with tagline like "They stole his mind, now he wants it back" think twice! I don't think the plot is inadequate either or that there are "holes" in it either, maybe these commentors can only handle one perspective at a time or there wasn't enough spoon feeding of the story? At the end of the movie it is uncertain whether the events that transpired were real or part of his mind/virtual/memory holiday, similar to the ambiguity in Verhoeven's Third man. But then I'm probably wasting my time, maybe the "holes" aren't in the movies plot!
