Paycheck Reviews
I'm telling you. Young Ben Affleck as Batman would've ruled
Casting Ben Affleck as a regular guy works in his other films. As an intelligent techie in this one, no way. He's plastic and completely unbelievable here and that just spoils the whole thing as nearly every scene centers on his character. How can someone be paid millions to act remotely interested in Uma Thurman and somehow fail at that?
Lots of action. Good plot. Great message. Watch who you subject tour mind to. It's a better movie than some of the mindless, substance less movies being made now in 2022-24.
I think if you can take "Paycheck" for what it is, which is a goofy early 2000s sci-fi movie, there is fun to be had with it. The movie definitely feels a bit dated with its effects, but it moves quickly and has lots of action and entertaining moments. I actually wish the movie dived into some of the ideas it presented a bit deeper and didn't go in such a wild direction in the final act. Still, I think this is the type of movie that does take me back to a forgotten era and for that, I had some fun with it, despite how silly and overly serious it is at times. Overall, it is a movie with a genuinely interesting concept that ultimately ends up being an average action sci-fi movie, but I think it is an acceptable way to pass the time.
ตัวหนังถือว่าสนุกพอสมควร ฉากแอ็คชั่นบางฉากถือว่าดีใช่ได้เลย แต่มีปัญหาเรื่องมุมกล้อง และ การตัดต่อ ที่ฉับไปฉับมามากเกินไป บทที่บางส่วนดี บางส่วนไม่ดี
It's nice, a little over the top, but for a nice time it's ok.
Dumb as a bag of rocks, but that's almost entirely the screenplay. John Woo's staging of the action scenes and the pacing make it watchable.
The combination of John Woo and Phillip K Dick could have worked, but it seems Paramount didn't trust Woo enough to try his hand at a Hitchcockian-style suspense thriller. Woo's stylish touches don't quite balance out the woeful acting and meandering, often remedial script, feeling like Total Recall without the ambiguity. It comes across like a neutered variation on his earlier, superior works with little in terms of states for his otherwise enjoyable action scenes. His trademarks are all here, but they often feel rather tacked on and out of place within the film he's trying to make, I don't think having four additional directors helped matters, further diluting his signature style. It should have been far more entertaining than it ended up being, but I guess this is what happens when you hire bloody Dean Georgaris to adapt the works of Phillip K Dick as it never manages to develop beyond its brainless writing. Paycheck is ultimately a John Woo movie but run through the Hollywood machine, removing all sense of the action maestro's talent and ultimately ending his stint in the US with a whimper rather than with a signature bang... Silent Night looking great though, I'm so ready.
It's still one of the most epic scripts delivered clinically. You have everything here, sci-fi, romance, action.
hide the remote, cause you will desperately seek for it.
This is a really fun flick. It was just released at the wrong time. Had it been released a few years earlier or a few years later, the film would have been seen as a good film.
Very entertaining! Great watch
This subgenre of sci-fi films from the 2000s is extinct now, so watching Paycheck in 2022 wasn't as bad as it must've been for those who watched it upon its release. Sure the story is over-the-top, and the visual effects are corny, but Uma Thurman and Ben Affleck give it a kick that makes it easier to swallow.
Like Ben Affleck in this movie. It was simple. No complex plot that would bore you.
This is an excellent movie, don't believe all the bad reviews. This is an action thriller with good acting and interesting plot. Grab some popcorn & enjoy
Watched it for the first time last night. What a horrible film. So cheesy and over-baked. It felt like a 1980s bad 온라인카지노추천 episode.
Seemed nice , don't know why people are disliking it so much.
