Total Recall (1990)

Total Recall

I'm usually not a huge fan of Arnold whenever he's not a cyborg, and that's one of the major problems with this movie. Arnold's acting, or lack there of, can't possibly sell the story. Because there sure is some interesting ideas behind this movie. They are just not executed to the full extend of their potential.

Another problem is the awful fight scenes, that even back then wasn't very impressive. They look as fake as they are. That's not on Arnold, but rather director Verhoeven who should have made sure they were better.

Still looking past those problems and a few wrong turns as the dance goes along, there's enough interesting things mixed together to make it worth a look.
