Total Recall (2012)

okay, i have to admit i watched this because there's nothing else for me to watch for me. still, i thought it was pretty good and rather pretty. it's pretty much a non-stop rollercoaster ride and has some good ideas. some of the dialogue was taken straight from the short story (which was only 5 pages long anyway) and scenes have nods to Arnie's version (the three-breasted hooker although they're not bare)

curious mix of Blade Runner, Star Wars, Minority Report and The Matrix and some references to the Judge Dredd comics - the concept of "The Fall" was pretty well executed

the actors do well, especially the grudge match between Farrell and Bullock, both look like they were completely into it

hugely entertaining - 8/10
