Director : Len Wiseman
Running Time : 114 mins
Douglas Quaid (Farrell), a factory worker who is displeased with his lot in life, decides to pay a visit to a company called Rekall – a company who insert artificial memories into people’s minds to make them think they’ve had an experience that never occurred – but when he ops for the super-spy experience he soon finds himself on the run from the police and discovers that his wife Lori (Beckinsale) is an undercover operative for an enemy state.
When this starts, and gives the background to what has happened to the planet Earth between now and the end of the century, this almost feels like it’s going to be a unique movie, and not just a remake of the Schwarzenegger classic, but as things progress it starts to reveal itself as a high-tech looking poorer cousin of the original. Rather than using the novel “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale”, the makers of this have simply remade the original with some extra bits thrown in about territorialism and evil Brits. Worth watching, but it’s basically the 1990 version with a bigger role for the wife.
