Paycheck (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
It wasn't bad...
..But it wasn't good, either. This movie needs to be approached with a healthy dose of cynicism and popcorn, because it seems that every five minutes, the characters are tripping and falling into plot holes. Ben "What? I'm playing a smart character this time?" Afflek proves just why he's a box-office flop: The guy can't act to save his soul from satan. And that's saying something, because satan's got pretty low standards. The whole concept is interesting, with the packet of items being "Sent ahead" in time... sort of... But the ending was so obvious that I could see it coming like a horrible, horrible train wreck that you can't stop. "Ha ha!" The peasants rejoice: "We've won the lottery for ourselves!"
Bah.
GUESS I MISSED ALL THE BAD PARTS!
This is one movie I thoroughly enjoyed - a bit of humor - a bit of mystery to be unraveled - lots of action - but where did those blonds get such retched hair-dos.
Michael Jennings agreeing to a memory erase was a bit spooky - who really wants to lose part of your memory?
It was fun to find out that Jennings got a glimpse of his future and knowing that his memory would be erased, he left himself a group of personal clues - he just had to figure them out.
I liked the chase scenes whether on foot or car [motorcycle] - the characters [all of them] were excellent and believable.
Aaron Eckhart was excellent as the heavy and the humor of some of the Feds enhanced the story.
Don't listen to any one else - this is a movie that may appeal to your tastes - so make your own decisions as to whether you like it or not.
I will recommend it to those who like entertainment and don't care to pick a movie apart. I will watch it again just to see what I missed. I thought the characters and story thoroughly enjoyable.
