What's in your wallet?, 2008-12-30
This is an excellent sci-fi film. A young man (Affleck) has his memory wiped after every job, but his paycheck more than makes up for all the lost time. But he becomes confused when he wakes up from the latest memory wipe and finds that he has forfeited his paycheck. He has to go back to a time he can't remember to find out what happened to his paycheck and how a mysterious woman (Thurman) fits into his past with only twenty items he mailed to himself to help him.

Fun Sci-Fi/Action Flick, 2008-11-29
I watched this film by myself, enjoyed it, then read a bunch of bad reviews dating mainly from soon after its release. I could not comprehend all the hostility. A few weeks later, I watched it again, this time with my wife, who also enjoyed it. In a nutshell: if you liked Total Recall and Minority Report, you'll probably like this. I sense that a lot of the negative reviews come from people who don't like Ben Affleck (for whatever reason). If you're one of them, you should probably pass. If you're not part of that group, you should check this out. I liked him in Sum of All Fears, and thought he was good in this. I would have given this 4.5, but that was not an option. Good premise, good action, nice chases, and a little sci fi thrown in.

The future has come home, 2008-10-11
Paycheck has advanced themes that it should pay closer attention to but the whole of the movie is fascinating. The movie projects Michael Jennings (Ben Afleck) on a course to save the world only he does not know it at the time. Michael is a reverse engineer, stealing designs from someone else and making slight modifications for his employer so they can trump the competition. "Future" science prevails in many different ways. Science fiction fans will love it.

booo john woo. zero stars for you, 2008-08-29
What's worse than making a really bad movie is making a bad movie that ruins a good story written by a creative genius. Ben Affleck isn't a good actor. Uma should get on her hands and knees and thank Tarantino for the best roles by far that she'll ever have. John Woo is overrated because you can't do stupid junk and be considered a great filmmaker. I hope more Philip K. Dick tales are brought to the silver screen, but not by mediocre hacks looking for a paycheck. br /
