Have You Seen: Paycheck (2003)

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.This week we revisit Paycheck from 2003, a science fiction film directed by John Woo and starring Ben Affleck, Aaron Eckhart and Uma Thurman, about an engineer who after completing a project finds out that before having his memory erased he waived his life altering paycheck.We talk about how Paycheck has a promising start with an intriguing mystery but degenerates into generic action towards the end but why we still think the movie's abysmal reputation is exaggerated, and much more.You can also find the video version of this conversation here:https://youtu.be/f5ruxjixxJc
