I never saw the original Total Recall completely, so it's probably better that way. I was actually surprised with the film because it was decent. It gets a little ridiculous, I believe they broke the record for most bullets shot without hitting anyone originally held by Rambo 3, but I lived with it. The story is Colin Ferrell has dreams where he and Jessica Biel (HOT) are trying to escape from something and he's captured and she gets away. His wife, Kate Beckinsale (SO HOT), is an EMT worker who seems like the perfect wife. Ferrell doesn't like his life as a factory worker manufacturing synthetic soldiers and yearns for more. He goes to "Rekall" where they implant whatever memory you want, but the catch is it has to be a lie with no basis in reality. Since Ferrell wants to play a secret agent, but actually is one, it all goes to shit. He's on the run, everyone he knows is trying to kill him and it gets a little ridiculous. There wasn't anything glaring that I screamed bullshit at, but they escape with 30 machine guns firing at them from a glass room somehow and things like that happen a few times and it gets hard to chew. It moves at a nice pace and has plenty of action, so that isn't terrible.
Bottom Line: 6.7 out of 10. It wasn't awful, just nothing special, as you probably could have guessed without ever seeing it. God I love Kate Beckinsale.
