--------------------------

Douglas Quaid is a bored construction worker on Earth who is haunted by vivid dreams of Mars and a mysterious woman. Seeking adventure and answers, he visits Rekall, a company that implants false memories to provide clients with thrilling experiences. Quaid opts for a memory implant that allows him to live out his fantasy as a secret agent on Mars. However, during the procedure, something goes wrong, triggering violent reactions and revealing that his life may be built on fabricated memories.

A funny and violent satire on crony corporate capitalism and the idea of corporations owning natural resources, this sci-fi-action thriller by Paul Verhoefen delivers laughs, thrills, and tons of funny Arnie-one-liners.
