  Total Recall - Bly-Ray Version
  
  A good film but if you have the DVD already, this Blu-Ray adds hardly anything to the viewing experience and no extras at all. Hence only 3 stars overall.

  Not a Schwarzeneggar fan, but I actually enjoyed this entertaining nonsense. Looks a bit dated by now, but still good fun to watch
