Comment
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a construction worker who discovers his life is an illusion, merely a false memory implanted into his mind and that Sharon Stone is not really his wife. He discovers that he was really a secret agent on Mars before having his mind altered. Violent but intriguing film with several twists centred around an artefact left by aliens. This is a well produced film with a good set of plot devices and twists and some effective action scenes.
Inspired by the story by Philip K Dick.
