Critic Reviews:
- " From the outstandingly inventive prosthetics to the nonstop, volatile hullabaloo piled high with death and laugh-out-loud humor, the film is essential science-fiction viewing. " – Mike Massie
- " You get the action, the cheese, and some good sci-fi and practical effects. What's not to love? " – David Hogan
- " All told, Total Recall is a powerful brew of mordant humor, keen wit, refreshing originality and graphic violence. " – Dennis King
