Audience Reviews

Yash B 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. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review อัทธชกรณ์ ฉ ตัวหนังถือว่าสนุกพอสมควร ฉากแอ็คชั่นบางฉากถือว่าดีใช่ได้เลย แต่มีปัญหาเรื่องมุมกล้อง และ การตัดต่อ ที่ฉับไปฉับมามากเกินไป บทที่บางส่วนดี บางส่วนไม่ดี Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Eye C It's nice, a little over the top, but for a nice time it's ok. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Alec B 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. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Justin W It's still one of the most epic scripts delivered clinically. You have everything here, sci-fi, romance, action.
