Over the weekend, nearly 1,158,000 people paid to see the movie "Paycheck". Fortunately, I was not one of them. I found this little gem on the internet.
This movie is about a man who invents a machine that can see into the future. This means that the protagonist knows ahead of time that he will pretty much be able to win and get the girl. "Paycheck" is an action flick, and as such, the viewer also knows the outcome of the movie from the start, that the hero will win and get the girl.
In order for you to save 1.5 hours of you life here is the plot.
An engineer is offered 90 million to help build the machine. When the job is done, he will have his memory erased so as to prevent him from being able to build another one. The man builds it. The man sees what havoc the machine will wreak, then decides to destroy it. However, the man can't just destroy it outright. Before his memory is erased, he sends some innocuous clues to himself. The items aren't suspicious to the company but will allow him to figure out what the machine is and help him to destroy it.
The only mildly interesting thing in this movie is finding out how he uses the items in his quest to destroy the machine and win the girl. For example, he uses the hair spray as a flame thrower and he uses a bus pass to get on a bus.
Wow I have done both of those things.
-Gary Milner, action hero.
