Paycheck

Hrm:

Philip K. Dick short story – good
Uma Thurman kicking slightly more plausible ass than in Kill Bill – indifferent
Ben Affleck – Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

The final verdict? Not as bad as it ought to have been.

I dig sci-fi that sort of kinda makes plausible sense. It could happen but almost certainly won’t. That pretty much covers this flick. The acting was generally bad but since everyone but Affleck and Thurman were b-listers (and those two ought to be) that wasn’t surprising. The FX were tolerable and the action sequences were nifty although not approaching John Woo’s typical heights. (By the way, what is up with John Woo? Windtalkers and now this??)

A popcorn movie it is. DVD worthy? Certainly not.
