Thanks! I agree that Olivia Thirlby’s character was also great. I loved when she got inside that guy’s head and made him pee his pants. The fact that she didn’t need to be rescued by the man was another fantastic element to her character. I always hope that we see more female characters like her.

Great review! I have to agree, I was cautiously optomistic when going into this movie, and was so pleased with the result! I completely agree with you that having a strong female villian was great, but also enjoyed Olivia Thirlby’s Judge Anderson, and the fact that even when captured, she didn’t need the strong male lead to rescue her, she escapes, then essentially goes to rescue him. Unexpected and wonderful!

Great review, love the word dystopia. Your reviews continue to impress, can’t see the difference between your reviews and the NY Times.

I wish it was doing better at the box office Dan. House at the End of the Street was making more money last time I checked and it looks TERRIBLE. So sad that people would choose crappy horror over a movie that’s easily one of the best action films this year.

Still haven’t seen the Total Recall remake. From what I hear though, I’m not missing much. Thanks for reading!

Heard lots of good things about this. Glad it is playing just as well in the States as it has done in the UK.

Looks so much better than Total Recall. I will definitely see this. Nice review!

[...] “The extreme violence and satire are very much an amusing throwback to films of the late 80s/early 90s such as THE RUNNING MAN, ROBOCOP and TOTAL RECALL.” – Evan Crean, Reel Recon [...]
