I don't understand how this movie could possibly have a 70% user score. It's really bad and not in any kind of good way. As much as I like Wesley Snipes he can't bring it up that high alone. Watch it once out of curiosity when there is nothing else to watch.

One decent actor and one genuinely cool sequence in the third act does not balance the mess left by the other 90% of The Recall, but it's something. Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
