TOTAL RECALL - Review

Hai Viewers,



The film from the Director of 'Underworld' & 'Underworld-Evolution' and Co-Creator of Underworld's other two series, Len Wiseman, Screenplay by Kurt Whimmer and Mark Bomback. Collin Farrel, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Beil have done the leading castings for Total Recall which garnered mostly mixed with favourable opinions.

Story
The film follows on the Earth has been divided into two sources 'United Federation of Britain' and 'The Colony' by the devastating world war at 2084. Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrel), a inhabitant of 'The Colony' and a factory worker who is dis pleasured by the incubus in his sleep and then he decided to implant his memories for exempting the monotonous life. Therefore he visits 'Rekall' Centre and implanted with memories as being a secret agent. This is the turning point of the plot. 

Total Recall - though it is based on Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Total Recall', differently blends some situations and the plot much loosely belongs the Philip.K.Dick's short story We can remember it for you Wholesale'. However, the film's atmosphere is new.  A fairly good theme with Story which visualizing an excellent imaginary background and Sequences, awesome pieces.Certainly within minutes, the film would ride you as a 'racy action thriller'. More over, the 'chase' sequences is heavily stunning experience. But somewhere, I feel that the movie has related to Steven Speilberg's 'Minority Report'.

As the performances - By Colin Farrel's good job, he carried off the character 'Douglas Quaid/ Hauser'. Director Len Wiseman is aptly casted his wife, Kate Beckinsale for the role 'Lori Quaid', after 'Underworld' Series. She plays the villainess with remarkable performance. Also Jessica Beil as 'Melina', the role enters in crucial situation and did a good job.  Others castings were good.

Len Wiseman shows his adroitness for making that must awakens the reality of this film and for these purpose the title must consist the tagline 'Is It Real?'. Specially, its Action sequences are an 'edge-of the-seat' pieces. The Drawback- Kurt Whimmer and Mark Bomback's Script development could have been better. In technicalities - Cinematography (Paul Cameron), Editing (Christian Wagner) and Original Scores (Harry Gregson - Williams) are impressive and strong backings. Especially, the Fight Scene at 'Rekall' Centre (Douglas Quaid's Gunshots to the armed Police Officers), attractive. Its Production Design and Visual Effects are top-notch.

Grade:  'Total Recall', a Decent 'Scientific-Action Thriller'
Rating:  3/5
