Paycheck

So Clem just can't get enough of his movies, so I've decided to watch another one the very same day I watched "The Terminal".. I decided to watch the movie "Paycheck"

well... to tell you the truth, for an action movie, it wasn't that great. They did have a very interesting story, but this time the action just didn't help the movie a bit. It's directed by John Woo , one of the greatest action movie director when it comes to guns. This movie however had very little action and very little guns. The only thing I liked about this movie was the explosion at the end. John Woo could do a lot better, but for some reason he didn't live up to the movie this time. As well as Ben Affleck.


I would advice John Woo's fans to stay away from this one. In my opinion the best John Woo films right now are "Hardboiled", "The Killer", "A better Tomorrow", "face/off" and "Mission: Impossible 2"

I'll put the plot down for anyone who plans to see it. I agree that the story is interesting, but the action just sucked.

Plot: Jennings (Ben Afleck) is the best reverse-engineer in the business. He is hired by clients to take apart other companies technologies and find out how they work. He is hired to do a special job, against the advice of some of his associates. When the job is completed, all memory of what he has been working on is ereased from his mind. That's when his problem really start to begin. He is hunted for something he has no recollection of doing and has only a little time to work it out. He has sent himself 19 seemingly unconnected objects, before his memory was wiped, to allow him to put the puzzle together and discover just what has gone on and what he has done. But the authorities are after him and time is very quickly running out.
