Paycheck

Paycheck, starring Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman and Aaron Eckhart was supposed to be a high-energy action packed thriller but it had a few holes, unbelieveable plots and it just sort of struggled all the way through.

Unfortunately, seeing Ben Affleck as a geeky-genius type just didn't cut it for me. I know it's a movie role, but Ben is was just so overexposed this year that his role was just not believable. I've seen some reviews saying that Uma Thurman was great, but honestly the movie didn't give her a great chance to shine. (She looks to me to have aged quite a bit since her Gattaca days.)

Again, I had high hopes for the movie and was let down. This is pretty common these days. To be honest, when I left the theatre I had a pounding headache as well.
