A botched retread of "Total Recall" ** spoiler **

Rating: Null/10 (24 June 2011)

** Warning: Conatins spoiler ** As if it matters.
Total Recall was a way more entertaining treatment of the "I have a fake identity as a good guy but I'm actually a bad guy, and I lost my memory and after I figure it all out I like the good guy I was pretending to be and don't want to be the bad guy I was, so that's my new identity" approach.
Don't waste your money. The script piles on one unbelievable thing after another for so long that by the time you ever get to the moment where he makes the first reconnection with his life, you no longer care. It just looks silly for so long that it destroys any interest you might have had at all, which wasn't much. I like the reviewer's remark elsewhere about the plot depending on stupid things one after the other: both Martin and the cab driver leave his (passport containing!!) briefcase on the luggage cart at the airport (they try to make it work by having the wife interrupt Martin during loading, but it's lame anyway); Martin is briefly unable to get a cellphone signal on the way to the Berlin airport. Right.
Oh yes, and the ending is a sore-thumb obvious setup for the two characters to spend another movie going after the bastards who killed her family in Bosnia. You see, her family was murdered, Liam used to be a bad-ass, but now he's a good guy, but with all that know-how. I think I'll plan well ahead to miss that one, absent a miracle in the choice of the next screenwriter.
