The movie deserves a better rating than C. It has a tight puzzle like story line and all the pieces come together. It has a satisfying and short ending, which is much better than the many, drawn-out, slow motion endings of... Full review

the is was a very good sci-fi with a great story line. It was a little confusing at the beginning but everything came together half-way into the movie and the ending was also very good. Should have been rated higher.... Full review

I just watched this movie on TV and it was pretty good. Much of the movie was very predictable, but it was still interesting to see it all play out. It's got your pretty basic action hero and villain and action... Full review

Don't you hate it when you see a movie, and then another movie is just like it? Well, that's how Paycheck was. After seeing both Minority report and paycheck, they are exactly the same overall concept/idea. Although I would have to... Full review

Affleck plays the part of Jennings well with a casual calm demeanor and just enough of a panic at times to be believable and realistic.....The story is a good one....complement each other nicely with Ben Affleck doing a great job as the cocky and smooth engineer..... ... Full Review

That's a hideous waste of a brilliant action director.....beyond that it's a premise better fitted for a dramatic director.....While Impostor and Next are just awful in every respect and A Scanner Darkly is trippy as hell, Paycheck took John Woo, a legendary action director.... ... Full Review

Paycheck" was as good as "Blade Runner" or "Minority Report....However, the fact that "Paycheck" is basically a brainless action thriller isn't its only problem.....The film's central concept is actually pretty clever.....Affleck and Thurman might as well be two bricks in a wall for all the attraction we see between them.....Affleck is a handsome and talented guy who has proven his acting chops in movies like "Hollywoodland";.... ...
