Originally adapted by director Paul Verhoeven in 1990, author Philip K. Dick's classic sci-fi short story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale returns to the big screen in this remake starring Colin Farrell, Bryan Cranston, and Kate Beckinsale, and directed by Underworld's Len Wiseman. The planet has been decimated by nuclear war in the late 21st century, leaving only two nations -- the United Federation of Britain and the Colony. Douglas Quaid (Farrell) is a factory worker with a stable job and a loving wife (Beckinsale), but upon learning that a company named Rekall could grant him the memory of the ultimate espionage adventure, he decides that a virtual vacation is better than no vacation at all. But in the midst of having the new memories implanted, something goes haywire. Still strapped to the chair as the system breaks down, he's branded a spy as the authorities close in, and quickly flees for his life. Later, Quaid discovers that he has a secret identity, and he joins forces with rebel soldier Melina (Jessica Biel) on a mission to track down Matthias (Bill Nighy), the head of a fierce resistance movement that's been labeled a terrorist organization by the tyrannical Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston). Cohaagen seeks to control the entire free world, and now the harder Quaid fights to defeat him, the clearer it becomes that his memory had been altered long before he walked into Rekall. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I LOVED it! And my 22-yr old nephew graded it a B- but would also recommend. The acting is good, the action is non-stop and the main characters are great on the eyes. In the future there are only 2 places left to live on Earth: The United Federation of Britain, and The Colony (rest destroyed by war). Colin is a factory worker, married to Beckinsale who is military for UFB. Colin has disturbing reoccurring nightmare where he is part of something big (with Biel) and gets captured and that is where he always wakes up. He goes to Rekall for a good memory to chase away this one and they discover he is a spy/agent. All hell breaks loose and the action is non-stop from there. Not the most original story plot, but VERY GOOD ENTERTAINMENT. ** PARENTS: there is 1 scene where hooker tries to solicit Collin by showing her bare breasts (all 3 of them) but that is it for sexual content. The rest is action/violence (no gore that I can think of, very little blood, mostly killing machines).

Disappointing at best. No character development. Little if any plot. Doesn't hold a candle to the original. With the headliners in the cast and the advancements in movie making tech I thought..."this is going to be good!" .... not even close....

Absolutely terrible movie with no real excitement, littered with needless callbacks to the original Total Recall.

One of the worst movies of the summer, no originality, acting was below average I could not wait until it was over. Kate Beckensale was the only thing worthwhile in the movie. Just a non stop chase scene with no real point. The main dialog was a single swear word evey time things supposedly got dicey. The original was better.
