Ah! I didn't know, or had forgotten, that Total Recall was based on a short story. I thought it was rather good[1], as an action movie with a bit of memory play thrown in. It's rather nice to see Arnie not paralysed by doubt, but living to the full whatever he thinks. But if you wanted a film that explored the issue you'd be disappointed, Scanner Darkly does do that, and do it well.
[1] Unlike, say, Running Man, from what I remember.
