Paycheck
Wow. Wow. I have never seen a movie like this before. It was staggering. There is this quote from The Long Kiss Goodnight where Sam Jackson says, "I did everything wrong in my life. That takes talent." That applies to this movie. There is absolutely, positively nothing good, right, etc. about this movie. It is the worst movie I have ever (Ever) seen. I, personally, did not think that Ben Affleck could act any worse than Changing Lanes but I was sorely mistaken. He is so bad that he makes Uma Thurman bad. The only reason I rented this POS is for Uma Thurman (whom I have an, admittedly, an unhealthy fondness of) and even she was just terrible. John Woo should be ashamed of himself. For shame Mr. Woo, for shame. If you are considering renting this movie, by all means, rent something else. You will thank me later.
