Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The brainy, paranoid science fiction of writer Philip K. Dick has inspired one visionary classic (Blade Runner) and two above-average action movies (Total Recall and Minority Report). Paycheck aspires to follow in their footsteps: An engineer (Ben Affleck, Chasing Amy) routinely agrees to have his memory erased after every job so that he doesn't know what he's done. But after the biggest job of his life, he discovers that not only has he refused a $90 million paycheck, he's sent himself an envelope full of things he doesn't recognize--and he doesn't remember doing any of this. As he unravels the plot, he discovers he's also fallen in love (with Uma Thurman, Kill Bill) and invented a dangerous device for his former boss (Aaron Eckhart, Erin Brockovich). Affleck is bland, the script ruins a cunning idea, and the direction--from the normally dynamic John Woo (Face/Off)--plods along, aimless and bored. --Bret Fetzer

4 out of 5 stars Critics, listen up, Are you people kidding me?!?!?!.......2007-04-21

Why oh why do people nip-pick like they are the best critics in the world. This movie is probably one of the better movies that Afflec has done in his whole movie career. I'm not saying the movie is "one of the best movies" in the whole entire world. . . i.e. Shawshank Redemption... having said that, this movie keeps your mind going, keep your mind thinking, and overall, it is entertaining, no one deserve an OSCAR Award, well maybe the Parrot, but it is a good good good movie, would of got 5 Stars if we could really tell the future. :) lol Just kidding, thats not why it didnt get a 5 stars, for a 5 stars i think this movie should of had a bigger twist at the end or even for the fact that it leaves you wanting a little more than how it ended. People give 5 stars like there are generals or the government. lol.

1 out of 5 stars Dock it!.......2007-03-31

Roger Ebert hated this movie. So did I. This heretofore unimaginable confluence of opinion means one of us has to die.

4 out of 5 stars Change of heart!!!!!.......2007-02-12

I used to use these reviews to see which movies i would buy, but after seeing that most of them rated paycheck so poorly thats over with. It is one of my favorite movies and i watch it all the time. Stop trying to analyze the movie so much, its a freakin action movie and it has good action in it. If u wanna pinpoint every flaw in the movie go sit with ebert and roper or somebody, they seem to suck at rating movies too. Kill Bill was freakin weak and stupid to me but it had a lot of good action in it and thats all im lookin for in a ACTION movie. Stop trying to be a critic and just watch the movie!

4 out of 5 stars Fun & action packed.......2007-01-04

I think people are being too critical of this film. It is very fun, and I thought it had a clever story line. You will be on the edge of your seat with it. If you watch this movie with the intent of entertainment, then you will really enjoy it. Just don't try and over analyze the science depicted; remember, it is just for fun. At the price Amazon has it for, it is worth owning if you are a movie collector.
The audio/video quality is very good too.

1 out of 5 stars The movie title describes the gig .......2006-11-02

Like John Woo's other American films, "Paycheck" shows none of the innovation, excitement, storytelling or other qualities that made such movies as "Hard Boiled" so incredible. "Paycheck" is a science fiction movie with no science, an action movie with very little action, a romance without any passion. Even the McGuffin, which should be super cool, is just blah and unexciting. The film makes no sense, includes plot holes aplenty, and doesn't have enough energy or fun to compensate. Affleck, Thurman, Giametti - all of them are good actors that have made far better movies. It's not their fault; lazy scripting and direction are the culprits here. Spend your paycheck on a better movie.
