Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0

Paycheck—interesting
concept and worth a watch—fails to tantalize its audience. The script is
adventurous, but Uma Thurman’s Kill Bill
persona kills this script and makes Ben Affleck just average. Director John Woo
seems challenged in bringing this film through to its conclusion.
