A delightful work

First look at the screenwriter
, second look at the lineup
, third look at the director
. The focus of this film lies in the plot, whether it is the foreshadowing that the men's football team served the first company from the beginning, the memory was erased, or the 20 clues sent to the future self were later thrown out. Why, and then give the answers one by one later, step by step fascinating.
On the whole, John Woo is good at setting up the elements of fighting and fierce fighting, and this handsome guy's hard-working performance (even if he has a very cool facial paralysis expression throughout the whole process), but it is still an excellent work with excellent production and novel plot. If you give 9 points, 5 points for the script, 2 points for the director, and 2 points for the handsome guy.
Compared with the domestic movies (white hair, small times,,,) with piles of scumbags and brains,
I am very gratified .…

    The suspense in the first half is set up very well, but in the second half, it becomes an idiot action movie...If you can follow the feeling of the first half, it will definitely look much better than it is now...

    From this film, we can see how much progress has been made in motion design and special effects in the past 10 years. If you look at it in 2003, you might think it's still cool? What Lisa said is true, Ben's face has less flesh, it was much plumper back then, but I like him better now, more mature and more flavorful. I have to say, his acting is not as good as his friend Matt :)

Paycheck quotes

  • Wolfe: So, you're saying he sent himself a different set of personal items, ones he'd selected after using the machine, and nothing our security would flag.

    Jimmy Rethrick: Everyday things. Combined with the power of foresight, transform Michael from engineer to escape artist.

    [Rethrick looks at the continued computer virus signal and adds grimly:]

    Jimmy Rethrick: I don't know about you, but I'd like to return the favor.

  • [Michael is focusing on the Einstein stamps on the envelope of items]

    Rachel Porter: What?

    Michael Jennings: You know, when I checked this envelope out of Reddy Grant, they told me I signed in twenty items. But there were only nineteen.

    Rachel Porter: I don't understand.

    [He picks up a magnifying glass and examines the Einstein stamps. One of them has a strangely pixelated eye. The camera cuts to a laboratory in which Jennings is examining the stamps under a microscope while Rachel stands behind him. The pixels turn out to be Seattle newspaper headlines, such as "Machine Predicts Future" and "Stock Market Panic."]

    Rachel Porter: [frightened] What are these pictures of?
