The main villain whoPaul Verhoeven made this movie in 1990 and it stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone, Marshall Bell, Ronny Cox, Rachel Ticotin and Michael Ironside.... TOTAL RECALL is a sci-fi action thriller and it isn't very good. The main villain who is Cohaagen played by Ronny Cox is about as intimidating as a teletubby. Michael Ironside was okay but not brilliant and Sharon Stone was excellent giving what crap story she had to work with and she looked beautiful. All the mutants were ridiculous, hideous and brought no positivity to the film especially the woman with 3 boobs as that's laughable , disturbing, cheesey and stupid. The action scenes were not great and the only two positive things in the whole movie was Sharon Stone and the blood. The rest of the movie including more or less all the characters, the acting and the action scenes felt awful and so did the fact the mutants drink in a bar on Mars. So laughably unrealistic it's unreal and even Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't that great so my opinion of Total Recall is I'm afraid weak. Terrible excuse for a film. Expand

It is clearly well directed and visually, it is still an impressive-looking movie but there is just so much that takes me out of it. There's a lot of filler in this movie tbh, They easily could have cut out 15-20 minutes and really help moveIt is clearly well directed and visually, it is still an impressive-looking movie but there is just so much that takes me out of it. There's a lot of filler in this movie tbh, They easily could have cut out 15-20 minutes and really help move things along. The cast also leaves a lot more to be desired as well. Clearly carried by Arnold, The rest of the cast just doesn't match what he is bringing to the table. The lack of a quality villain knocks it back for me as well.

Oddly enough, I actually prefer the remake over this.
