Walking into Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall”, you can’t help
but wonder if you’re going to get a kickass action extravaganza or another
unnecessary remake. To be honest, you get both. Best known for his “Underworld”
movies, Wiseman is definitely a style-over-substance kind of director. For all
their faults, however, his movies are never boring, and “Total Recall” is a slick
science fiction actioner. It isn’t especially noteworthy, but neither is it
terrible. This isn’t a film you need to see more than once, and even though it
is ultimately forgettable, it keeps you entertained.
