For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) 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 (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world - Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen
Likes : Wow what an unbelievably amazing brilliant film, altho the original was good with Arnold this was better,a total fresh storyline to the original but the concept & feel of this film was like blade runner,i robot, fifth element all put in to one film, the stunning special effect & the design of the police security mechs with the white & black amour pulled a well made film together. The action scene are fast & in your face the car chase was brilliant, specially the scene where Kate beckinsale is chasing Colin Farrell character across the futuristic roof tops of a blade runner feel city was just amazing. The design of these security mechs were kind of like the ones from mass effect game but it really worked well for this film because it made them look awesome like they had a character of their own. The storyline was change from the control of air to control of space on earth but in my mind that what a remake needed because if it like the original to much it would be serious bad, but this really was well filmed. Colin Ferrell plays Douglas Quaid / Hauser a world class top covert intelligent agent that has he's mind erased & new memories put in to cover what he was really doing but start to remember what he has lock away in his mind & comes to see what is really going on. The beautiful Kate Beckinsale plays Lori Quaid a planted agent to be he wife, which i think she had some kind of mech technology in her because she was seriously fast & strong when she realise that Quaid has discover that his life is not real she set out on a pursuit across the city to kill him after he escape her. The beautiful Jessica Biel plays Melina a member of the resistances for Matthias played by (underworld star & pirate of the Caribbean Davy Jones) Bill Nighy, i found her character to be very tough, dedicated to the course to bring down the evil Cohaagen played by Bryan Cranston who i thought was good for the role because he had this ruthless side to him. along with these actors the on screen chemistry was spot on,it was believable it had that gritty edge to the storyline. But i love the way they had the feel of blade runner with the shop discos & streets that real set the films mood & atmosphere, this film couldn't of done any better than the way its been films, because it was perfectly filmed in every way with awesome performance's from all the extras & stars of the film.
Dislike: Slightly a little slow in places but that all
Overall : If you love blade runners-fi & action films this is one to watch unmissable, brilliant performance & stunning visual effects really sets the mood & feel of the film.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment, 9 out of 10 for action & storyline.
