Total Recall has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Total Recall.

If Total Recall was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Total Recall actually is?
Rewatched Total Recall last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Total Recall?
Look, I wanted to love Total Recall. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Total Recall is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Total Recall would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
