am far less impressed. It is only fair to say, however, that Dick has been getting a lot of cinema credit lately, and that is good.
Too bad PAYCHECK has been reduced to teeny-bopper fare. Affleck was advertised and "smart and sexy," but as a male I am unimpressed. The character is totally unbelievable. Moreover, the knock-out who inevitably becomes his girlfriend, Ph.D. in biology who looks like a cover of COSMOPOLITAN and acts like a Vegas tart -- and really comes through super-liberated in a fight -- is likewise.
I know: what an old foof, you say. He wants his geniuses to look like Jeremy Brett and his heroines to look like Helen Mirren. Well, not quite, but it would be an improvement. This software genius, collar ad, hell-bent motorcycle jockey (for the INEVITABLE car chase) and martial artist is simply too much. The most believable character, not, sorry to say the fine Canadian actor Colm Fiore, is the goofy bearded side-kick and comic relief.
This is pure Generation Y stuff. It is built upon a clever premise and loused up in the delivery and exploiting of "sexy" principals.
