Finely-tuned sci-fi/action

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2016)

Man, what isn't memorable about "Total Recall"? Mars, Sharon Stone, "two weeks", Kuato, Johnny Cab, the Rekall chair . . . to say that this movie doesn't leave its visual mark is just denial. This is Philip K. Dick by way of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and that probably shouldn't work as well as it does. Couple those with Verhoeven's direction (and violence) and Rob Bottin's makeup effects, and it's a heady mixture. This is one of Schwarzenegger's great Summer movies, all wrapped up in a tight package.
Highly quotable, too.
8/10
