| Paycheck Review |
| by Karina Montgomery (Rating: 4/5) |
| My long term readers know I am no fan of Ben Affleck; when he is at
his least unwatchable, he is confused, at a loss, off his guard, as
compared to cocky, swaggering, and near any real-life girlfriends.

| "Paycheck" is the kind of film that Orville
Redenbacher hopes for. This is a sci-fi
adventure helmed by Director John Woo, whose
filming techniques are generally more hip and
more vanguard than most. And it's based on a
short story by Philip Dick,...more |

| Susan Granger's review of "Paycheck" (Paramount Pictures)
Let's just say 2003 was not Ben Affleck's best year. In this latest
thriller, he plays mild-mannered Michael Jennings, an engineering whiz who's

consider to be one of the best action...more |

| by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 3/4) |
| PAYCHECK, by FACE/OFF's John Woo, is an intelligent sci-fi thriller that's
intriguing and exhilarating, working both as a think piece and as an action
picture. Ben Affleck (DAREDEVIL and GIGLI), not exactly Hollywood's strongest
actor, does a fine job...more |
