| Paycheck Description : |
| Adapted from a mind-bending sci-fi
thriller by Philip K. Dick, the slick and riveting PAYCHECK
is directed by John Woo (THE KILLER, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
II)--the king of artful gunfighting flicks--who shows off
his agility here with flat-out, white-knuckle cinematic
entertainment. Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck) is a high-paid
engineer who works on hush-hush computer inventions and
technology for shady companies. Later, his memory is wiped
clean, so he has no recollection of his work. His so-called
friend Rethrick (Aaron Eckhardt, the master of smarmy
mean-spiritedness, as in IN THE COMPANY OF MEN) offers him
enough money to retire by working on a project at Rethrick's
company, Allcom. When Jennings emerges three years later,
sans memory, he tries to collect his paycheck. At the bank,
he's handed a manila envelope filled with cryptic items he
doesn't recognize, and told he voluntarily forfeited his
entire paycheck. He also has a stunning girlfriend named Dr.
Rachel Porter (Uma Thurman) who is likewise ensnared in the
conspiracy. Jennings must somehow piece together the clues
he left for himself, and find out why everyone is out to
kill him. As usual, Dick's story is the basis for a killer
script that travels from point A to Z with gripping
immediacy. The clues left for Jennings are amusing writerly
devices, intricately pieced together. Woo clearly enjoyed
choreographing the wild gunfighting and chase sequences (slo-mo
bullets aplenty), sending Affleck and Thurman on the run
with a BMW motorcycle.
