Paycheck
Directed by John Woo
Michael Jennings is a genius who's hired – and paid handsomely – by high-tech firms to work on highly sensitive projects, after which his short-term memory is erased so he's incapable of breaching security. But at the end of a three-year job, he's told he isn't getting a paycheck and instead receives a mysterious envelope.

39 of 39 · most liked firstOne of my most facepalm stories. I was reading Philip K Dick's "Paycheck", after seeing the film. Quite enjoyed it. I kept thinking "Oh my goodness, there are a lot of threads to this story, how is he going to tie them all together?" Got to the end of the book, realised it was short stories.

neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ Paycheck (1952-53) is a novelette adapted to film in 2003 by John Woo. The film adds more action as well as amping up the protagonist's abilities. Crucial to the story, the mind wipe is altered for more visual tension in the film vs the book's contemplation. 💼💰🕰️ #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →Still thinking about how tepid The Thursday Murder Club film ended up. I've not read the books, so no comparisons being made here, but the only people who looked like they were having any fun were Brosnan and Imrie, although the latter playing to type. Everyone else, 'PP' (Paycheck performance)

positive · AI labelView post →Ben Affleck is great as Paycheck in the movie Paycheck.
neutral · AI labelView post →It applies to musicians and actors as well. In Bruce Campbell's book "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" there is a chapter titled "Anatomy of a Paycheck." He breaks down what he got paid for doing Army of Darkness. That was an eye opener!
neutral · AI labelView post →Take This Job and Shove It was the first film to feature monster trucks. The film was named after a popular country song, which was written by David Allan Coe and sung by Johnny Paycheck; both men had minor roles in the film.

neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like I’m one of the only people in the world to have seen and remembered the 2003 sci fi film Paycheck. Which seems weird. I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve seen it. It’s a John Woo movie based on a Philip K Dick story with Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman and Paul Giamatti.

neutral · AI labelView post →really annoyed by the ad where they say Ben Affleck plays a mathematician and he corrects them saying it was an accountant. He wasn't talking about The Accountant you dork, he was talking about your critically panned film Paycheck (2003).

neutral · AI labelView post →Which not-so-fun fact, it was initially cut from the film due to the Disney execs being, *sensitive to put in nicely. But due to the then-terrible CEO, Bob Paycheck, made some um…decisions that received intense backlash from the LGBTQ+ community, the scene was restored.
neutral · AI labelView post →And on another side note, long story short, due to the latter’s star filed a lawsuit surrounding the hybrid release of her film and the response from Paycheck being um…that went well…Disney ended the Premier Access/hybrid release all together after the release of Jungle Cruise…

neutral · AI labelView post →I meant the trailer being on the Sahara dvd. Example: Paycheck's is on Timeline, Timeline is on Tomb Raider 2, Tomb 2 has the Paycheck trailer. I always watch the trailer first before the movie, as it helps. Older Paramoot's had the trailer but no extra features. Then, it flipped.
neutral · AI labelView post →Paycheck came out in 2003? That doesn't sound right. That's gotta be like an '07 or '08 movie

neutral · AI labelView post →And while coincidence and me being completely crazy are both on the table, the auto-translate of the Korean livestream refers to a "stamped dot", too And after a cursory bit of research, odds are both are references to Paycheck, the Philip K Dick book and later John Woo/Ben Affleck film
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh dear, this one's pretty bad. There are a lot of faces in this movie but non of them could save this disaster. Which is a shame, because this could have been a really intense and thrilling film in the hands of a different director. Instead, it comes across as a made-for-TV movie. John Woo's direction is lacklustre and cliche, the editing is lazy and the soundtrack is overblown, unfitting and downright intrusive.
