Critic Reviews
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Without ever quite becoming boring, Paycheck seems to narrow into a routine pattern, and a plot that at first had nuance and the hint of a broader meaning degenerates into chases and standard action.
-
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You may not buy everything about this movie, but you'll likely leave it with a smile.
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
If a movie is going to flout, or at least bend, the laws of the universe, it at least ought to obey its own internal rules.
-
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
[Woo] still has pretty much of a tin ear for American performances, so he lets Affleck doze through the starring role. The film feels as if it has no center.
-
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though the premise is provocative enough, the execution feels like a host of other violent action-drenched movies.
