The Action Sci-Fi Remake That Arnold Schwarzenegger Called “Stupid” Is Streaming Free

The 2012 film Total Recall is based on Philip K. Dick’s 1966 short story, “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” This remake replaces action star Arnold Schwarzenegger with Colin Farrell, telling the story of a man who discovers he’s more significant than he thought. Len Wiseman, known for directing Underworld and Ballerina, directed this version, taking over from Paul Verhoeven, who directed the 1990 original. The two films are quite different; the 1990 version has an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while the 2012 remake received a “rotten” score of 30%.
