Customer Reviews of Paycheck (Full Screen Edition)
Great film for troubled times - especially for Christians Most of my friends already know that I head a different drummer (who sometimes sounds a little bit like Buddy Rich). <
> <
>Anyway, a friend recommended this film as exciting, and original, and generally good overall. I picked it up for an enjoyable evening. I got far more than I had bargained for. <
> <
>I don't want to spoil the story line, so I won't go much into detail. The plot has to do with a technology that enables one to see the future. And a lot of the time the main character is trying to make sense out of the present, and what he has been "given". <
> <
>I was at (am at) a point in my Christian walk of 30 years, that sometimes things don't make sense until I see them through the lense of 5 or 10 years. Then I can understand that Jesus and the Father love me, and can see the future, and give me just what I need in the present, even if it doesn't seem to make sense. <
> <
>The film has action, a la Hollywood. I enjoy that. If you are offended by that, this might not be for you. There is also a hint of the protagonist and his partner being intimate. It is a hint, and I wasn't offended. <
> <
>I was blown away, in a really good way. Highly recommended.
Blank check
Great movie if your IQ is a 2 and you drink from the toilet. I saw this in the theater when it first dropped. In about twenty minutes so did my head. When I woke up everyone looked pissed. Moral of the story, dont watch this.
Commodity film......
One always has great hope for a film script with Philip Dick parentage, but this film was a disappointment. John Woo is a talented director, but he is completely unsuited for this sort of film. The dark paranoiac style in Philip Dick's writing has not been used to greatest advantage in film except in 'Blade Runner', which ironically did not cling closely to the story, however, 'Paycheck' pushes alienation from the spirit of the story to new heights. Neither does 'Paycheck' show the humor or spirit, director Woo's films are famous for, leaving Paycheck's unnecessary and out of place chase scenes feeling like a death mask of a John Woo film.

<
>From a performance perspective, Affleck and Thurman are ill matched romantically, with this casting choice made worse by director Woo's decision to play up the romantic aspects of the film. The supporting actors, particularly Aaron Eckhart turn in a strong performance however.

>Despite the poor directing, miserable and underdeveloped script, lack of strength as either an action, or science fiction film, and an unhappy "near future" look that looks only Hollywoodish and phony, Paycheck is not a genuinely awful film, and someone satisfied with a generic commercial movie might not be too severely disappointed. I would not recommend purchasing this movie to anyone with a limited DVD purchase budget however.
