I think this film is only a “remake” because some studio exec decided that it wouldn’t make enough money unless it had some name recognition cache, causing the director/screenwriter to throw in the bare plot necessities to make it “Total Recall”. It would have taken very little effort for this movie not to be a remake of anything. Then again, it would have taken very little effort to add in some humor or intelligence or psychological tension as well. The scene where Jessica Biel’s character sheds a tear likely made anyone who enjoyed the original film cringe. The action was well choreographed and the CGI was competent.
