Product Information

Adapted from a mind-bending sci-fi thriller by Philip K. Dick, the slick and riveting PAYCHECK is directed by John Woo (THE KILLER, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE II)--the king of artful gunfighting flicks--who shows off his agility here with flat-out, white-knuckle cinematic entertainment. Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck) is a high-paid engineer who works on hush-hush computer inventions and technology for shady companies. Later, his memory is wiped clean, so he has no recollection of his work. His so-called friend Rethrick (Aaron Eckhardt, the master of smarmy mean-spiritedness, as in IN THE COMPANY OF MEN) offers him enough money to retire by working on a project at Rethrick's company, Allcom. When Jennings emerges three years later, sans memory, he tries to collect his paycheck. At the bank, he's handed a manila envelope filled with cryptic items he doesn't recognize, and told he voluntarily forfeited his entire paycheck. He also has a stunning girlfriend named Dr. Rachel Porter (Uma Thurman) who is likewise ensnared in the conspiracy. Jennings must somehow piece together the clues he left for himself, and find out why everyone is out to kill him.As usual, Dick's story is the basis for a killer script that travels from point A to Z with gripping immediacy. The clues left for Jennings are amusing writerly devices, intricately pieced together. Woo clearly enjoyed choreographing the wild gunfighting and chase sequences (slo-mo bullets aplenty), sending Affleck and Thurman on the run with a BMW motorcycle.

  • Sci-Fi/Mystery Must See

    Paycheck is a clever little sci-fi/mystery. Full of surprise twists. The main character keeps the interest level high in anticipation as he seeks to figure out a series of seemingly meaningless clues leading him to the project he was working on secretly for three years. The plot is not very guessable and it keeps you glued to the action. I highly recommend this movie; you'll be surprised to learn what his project was all about. Action, suspense, and a little love story wrapped up in a pretty exciting movie.

  • Not the best P.K.Dick movie, but not the worst

    This story was captivating and involving, but it suffers a little from some bad treatments by the writers. That being said, it has a sort of timeless style of future/past sense of film noir. Watch it first for the action and watch it again for the details.

  • Great Adventure Flick

    Has enough surprises to keep you on the edge of your seat and not your typical Sci Fi flick with the usual action ...I can watch this at least 10 times and still find something I missed the time before ....10 Stars !

    I LOVE this movie. I had to buy it on DVD instead of just the VHS that I had before. I can watch this movie over and over again and again!
