Total Recall (1990)

[Movie 229 / Day 243]


In this classic Arnie movie, the big man plays Douglas Quaid, a construction worker who has a recurring dream of living on Mars (it's set in 2048 when Mars has been colonised). He goes to see a company that sells virtual holidays by implanting memories in your brain. After specifying his perfect memory as a secret agent on Mars, Quaid wakes up to find... That he is a secret agent and he must get to Mars to help the resistance fighters there. Or is he? Maybe he's just having a bad time in the implant centre.

Features lots of violence and bad one-liners as Arnie despatches various baddies, Total Recall is one of his best.

My rating: 7.1 / 10
