This week on Total Movie Recall, things get grim and a little too close to 2020 reality for comfort. Definitely don\\u2019t watch this movie if you\\u2019re fresh out of rehab, which Ryan can tell you all about. The future is bleak, but if it\\u2019s also as ruggedly handsome as Clive Owen is and has the greatest single-take of all time, it might not be so bad. This is also one of the greatest movies of all time, just to be clear about it.
