Hyperactive science fiction with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Earth-bound construction worker discovering he used to be Mars-based secret agent, going up against the evil forces that wiped his memory.  The set-up, on Earth, is simple and effective enough, but the pay-off, on Mars, is a cluttered and noisy mess, as screenwriters Ronald Shusett, Dan O'Bannon, and Gary Goldman burden the story with psychic mutants, alien artifacts, and an awfully convenient hologram projector to fill in the occasional gaps between bursts of gunfire.  All action, no suspense.  With Sharon Stone as Arnold's Earth wife, Rachel Ticotin as his Mars girlfriend, and Ronny Cox and Michael Ironside as the bad guys.  Based on Philip K. Dick's story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale."
