Total Recall
Factory worker Doug Quaid takes a virtual mind-trip vacation with the Rekall company, opting for implanted memories of being a spy. When the procedure goes wrong, Quaid becomes a wanted man by the police and joins forces with a rebel fighter to stop the evil Chancellor Cohaagen.
Critics Sentiment
Wife Lori reveals she's UFB agent and tries killing Quaid
Cohaagen kills Matthias and captures Melina for memory restoration
Sharp drop from Melina's rescue (7.4) to the resistance base infiltration (5.8) as the film becomes repetitive
Total Recall starts promisingly with impressive world-building and peaks during Kate Beckinsale's villainous reveal, but gradually declines into repetitive action sequences. Critics appreciated the visual spectacle and some performances while lamenting the lack of wit, weak character development, and formulaic plot progression that made the film ultimately forgettable.
