Michael Jennings is a reverse engineer and what he does is technical jobs for certain companies and as soon as he is done, his memory of the work he has done is wiped out. Now the longest he has been contracted is 2 months. But now billionaire, James Rethrick offers him a job that would last 2 years, maybe 3, and he promises that he will probably earn 8 figures. Michael agrees. Before beginning he turns in all of his personal effects. And when the job is done, his memory is erased and he learns he made over 90 million dollars over the three years. When he goes to claim it and his personal effects, he discovers that prior to the erasure of his memory he waived his rights to the money he earned and that the items that were given to him were not the ones he gave when he began. Later he is arrested by the FBI who say that he committed some act of treason and murder. It's while he is in custody that he escapes using some the items that he was given.

"Paycheck" is adapted from a story by Philip Dick short tones
For his political criticism and cynicism to make a film sci fi adventure,
This time almost like an intelligent face and "McGyver" episode. You can tell how
expanded from a story where the hero has five elements or clues
And now has 20.

Ben Affleck is a bland Ken Doll of a hero, but Uma Furman has
Spunk almost as much as he did in "Kill Bill, Volume 1".

As the film by John Woo, of course, the hunting scenes are the best part. But
fight scenes that are more disconcerting - uh, why work out Affleck
Samurai electronic consist of fighting stick such that when the
Mal-with the aim ill all come to him with firearms Uma launches him to a pole
Recogerlos?

While I did see the movie on a scratchy print with tinny sound, I do not
I think that explains the confusion with poor continuity in the hair and makeup
That I thought was the travel time at some tropical vacation
In between scenes.
My wife and I looked at each other as the credits rolled and said "Do
The stupidest you have seen lately? "And also agree that
There is chemistry ... Large holes in the plot. Even if science fiction is
must make sense in the context of the film, which
This is not.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Many plot holes: Why repair the machine? Why a dove to fly? How
future change in the walkway? If Ben could change their future,
How does one explain that it could not avoid the next war (other than through the destruction
machine)? If the actual 90mm lottery, the FBI did not find them?

Ugh.

Go.
