.5/4

Mauro Borrelli's The Recall has the look of a SyFy original movie and the self-seriousness of Ridley Scott's recent Alien films.

The Recall is the sort of movie you find wedged into an old VHS player purchased at a yard sale in the Kawarthas or sifted to the bottom of a mesh-wire DVD bin in a gas station somewhere on Highway 6.

1/5

So deathly dull that the film has exhausted our reserves of patience and goodwill long before we reach the outlandish climax.

2.3/5

The effects in The Recall are pretty well done, but it seems like the filmmakers blew their budget on a couple of big scenes (not to mention Snipes' salary), so for the bulk of the film, there's not much to see.

The Recall is the kind of bad flying saucer movie you almost enjoy as much as a good one, just because it's so unaware of its own cheesy dumbness.

.5/4

Just about the only positive element contained within the seemingly endless proceedings is Wesley Snipes' unabashedly over-the-top turn as a mysterious hunter...

Basic low-budget alien invasion sci-fi that does some things well, and doesn’t go too crazy train, despite some of the subplots and the larger story being only briefed upon.

Guy to other guy caught in a bear trap: "Stay here!" Poor execution ruined what could have been a cool science fiction story. They should have deleted the whole 'teens lost in the woods' angle and focused on Wesley Snipes' character.

There really isn't much to say about this. I'm sure it was a good payday for those who worked on it.
