Movie Review

Ben Affleck finishes off the most devastating year of his career with a whimper in Paycheck, a film based on a short story by Philip K. Dick. Directed by John Woo, it is what you would expect if Minority Report met Gigli. Full movie review »

I also thought that this movie was better than I thought it would be. I liked the different concept of it, plus it's like a mystery/adventure/sci-fi movie. I really liked it.

For a person that hates Ben Alfleck, this was not a bad movie. In fact, he gave a solid performance. "Paycheck" was quite entertaining and action-packed. Yeah, it's kinda perdictable and stupid, but what do you expect from an action film these days? Recommended for those that don't mind stupid sci-fi action films. A solid "B."

No HTML. Be kind - your mom might read what you say.
