RECALL
With Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel Ticotin, Michael Ironside, Sharon Stone, Ronny Cox Directed by Paul Verhoeven Before Basic Instinct, Verhoeven continued his US sci-fi slate (with this Dan O'Bannon adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story) of a man who may not be who he believes he is. After checking out a possible virtual holiday on Mars, our workingman starts to uncover a plot involving that planet, some parties intent on knocking him off. He's faced with a life and death dilemma, not sure if he's being framed, going crazy and if is reality or fantasy? This elaborate, action packed adventure is a great ride with fine Rob Bottin FX, and some classic Arnie moments amid the often violent but invigorating scenes that never loses sight of its sense of humour. 5 / B - Paul Blom 1 2 3 4 5 6 A - B - C |
