The Recall

Ok, I’m about 15 minutes into this, and it looked like it was going to be a sci-fi thriller or teen scream about some teens d-bags on vacation out in the woods, but we learn in the first 5 minutes that Wesley Snipes is a stereotypical insane-seeming, camo-wearing tough-as-nails vet living in a remote cabin, we see him unloading his gun, and 15 minutes into it it’s showing a meeting of tough-as-nails military officials, one of whom has a russian accent. Why do I have a feeling Chekov’s rule is going to apply? “If you put Wesley Snipes as a troubled, tough-as-nails gun-toting military vet in act one, you must have him go off as a troubled, tough-as-nails gun-toting military vet in act three.” Will check back in when it’s done. [Much later note: apparently I never checked back in.]
