Despite its country-and-western style title, Paycheck is a sci-fi action thriller directed by John Woo! It is based on a story written by Philip K. Dick in 1953.
Waking up with his short-term memory erased, engineer Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck) learns that he has been doing highly secretive work for the last three years in exchange for millions of dollars. But when he tries to access his money, he finds out he has exchanged it for an envelope of random clues. Chased by an FBI agent (Michael C. Hall) and his old boss James Rethrick (Aaron Eckhart), Michael uses the clues to find out what his work was, why it needs to be destroyed, and he must prove his innocence.
I read that Paycheck didn't do well at the box office, but I found it very entertaining, and with a mystery to solve too! This is a great movie, they should have changed its name though!
