Why is it that every "average" Joe who gets thrust into danger, happens to know Kung Fu, Bo and Karate? Paycheck is a good movie that could have been great. The acting and action are both done well. However the story has the same clichés from a thousand other action movies. There's the car chase, the fight scene and the inevitable face to face showdown with the hero and villain. Why can the villain or hero ever just slip and fall to their deaths? It wouldn't be hard in this one because the last third of the movie they're crawling around a huge machine that's exploding around them. I thought Paycheck would show me something new but all it showed me was some action. It's a nice movie to watch once or twice then forget about it.
