Total Recall (1990)
"Relax, You'll Live Longer!"...
30 April 2024
The futuristic / sci-fi / dystopian TOTAL RECALL stars the one-and-only Arnold Schwarzenegger as Quaid, a man who decides to take a virtual vacation, only to find himself caught up in a nightmare. From then on, nothing is as it appears, and no one can be trusted.

Opening on Earth, it's when the scene switches to Mars that the real excitement begins, turning the entire movie into one humongous chase sequence. Arnold is in rare form, playing one of his most bada$$ characters, punching, kicking, and shooting his way through the strange underworld of the Red Planet. Michael Ironside is Quaid's psychopathic nemesis, only one step behind him, and ready to kill. Sharon Stone is fantastic as Quaid's wife, and Rachel Ticotin gets to be tough-as-nails as Melina. Ronny Cox plays another of his devilish corporate head roles.

Based on a story by Philip K. Dick, Director Paul Verhoeven transforms the source material into a rip-roaring, non-stop adventure, filled with mutants, machine guns, and mayhem. Oh, and watch out for those mining machines!

A classic Arnold movie featuring one of his best performances...
