The Recall

If you like alien stuff, watching this movie is a must. It reminded me of "Signs" (2002, Mel Gibson) There is a good suspense, some action and clitché characters and the film feels really short. Great actors, especially the "Blade" guy, lol, this dude does certainly know how to make us laugh in an apocalyptic world.

Five kids in the cabin in the woods, Wesley Snipes - ex military, survivalist and alien invasion. It is as bad as it gets. It is funny how the first IMDb reviews, all scoring 8-10 points, all raving about the scenario and acting :) clearly fake. Do not waist your time on this. It a very badly acted, ridiculously written story, that maybe, but only maybe, if you're 7 years old you might find it amusing.

Where can I start?

Firstly let's start off by pointing out the number of fake reviews praising this movie, most likely from the d-grade actors involved in this movie or their publicists. You should be ashamed...not because of the number of fake reviews you so vainly posted, but by how embarrassingly obvious they are as fakes (check RottenTomatoes, you will see more fake reviews there).

So...the movie itself is very c-grade. Usual generic story of teens going into the woods, everything is laughably predictable, normally i'd say this isn't such a bad thing if you enjoy that type of movie but unfortunately the acting and writing is beyond rubbish.

The emotions are all wrong and swing from one to the next without any care or thought as to the scene itself. Amateur actors at best. I was really excited to see Wesley Snipes on the big screen again but dude, you made a huge mistake doing this movie.

You will recognise the annoying kid from Breaking Bad is in this movie, I don't really wish bad things for him IRL but I could have punched that stupid character he played in this movie over and over in the face.

Make no mistake, this movie blows, anyone telling you otherwise is a shill being paid by cronies related to this movie. Frankly the only pleasure you will derive from this movie, is telling your friends how bad it was.

Do not watch.

The Recall has a couple of good ideas in it and the movie is able to hold attention for its 90 minutes. Sadly the low budget does not allow to a better development of some part of the story. Wesley Snipes as mysterious Hunter is able to inspire some frightening moments. The other characters has very little development but the rest of the cast does what they can. The alien sequences are not particularly original nor very well staged but create some (lite) horrifying / terrifying moments.

In brief; it is not the worst way to expend 90 minutes of your life if you have nothing more important to do.

Don't bother watching. so many errors in continuity and editing. Not to mention terrible acting. Sad to see Wesley in such a C grade film. Will never get that time back...

many fake reviewers pushing up the score here. It is no more than a 3 at best. DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME!
