Colin Farrell Underwhelms In New TOTAL RECALL Clip

A new clip from Len Wiseman's remake of Total Recall has arrived online today and the biggest question it leaves this particular viewer with is "Is this actually a clip from the movie?" Because if it is - if this is really the way Quaid's run through the Rekall system is going to be presented - then this film has a major editing problem. Because there's next to nothing there. It seems just as likely - and I sincerely hope this is the case - that someone has taken a three or four minute sequence and cut all the talky bits out believing that audiences would rather get to the shooting. Problem is that these particular talky bits are absolutely, one hundred per cent, the heart of the entire film. Selling this concept is entirely what the film rests on and this clip, the way it's presented here, fails to do the proper pitch job.

Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid, even though he's got a beautiful wife who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen, the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter to find the head of the underground resistance and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
