	Johnny Paycheck
		"...Paycheck is in the hospital with severe emphysema and diabetes and is not interviewable at this point," came the somber reply to a request for a few minutes to interview the Johnny Paycheck.
		Paycheck had some minor chart success with a few less abrasive tunes but by 1970, Little Darlin's financial well had dried up and Johnny, whose drinking had by then exceeded legendary, needed to dry out.
		Although the image now clashed stylistically with the music Paycheck made it work with his inarguable singing prowess and a pen as sharp as his ear was keen for a terrific country song.

		A member of the Grand Ole Opry, PayCheck is best remembered for his 1977 hit song, "Take This Job And Shove It" (originally written by David Allan Coe) which sold over 2 million copies and inspired a motion picture of the same name.
		His life was often filled with turmoil and in 1985, PayCheck was convicted of shooting a man in Hillsboro, Ohio and spent two years in prison.
		PayCheck suffered from drug and alcohol addiction during his career, although he was said to have "put his life in order" [1] after his prison stay.

	Paycheck (2003): Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Paycheck is one of those movies in which all the ingenuity went into the original idea and none into its execution.
		Paycheck is too smart for a mindless actioneer, and too slick to capture the full moral weight of Dick's dystopia.
		Paycheck is a terribly muddled mess, a Hitchcock homage (with generous, obvious nods to The Birds, Strangers on a Train and North by Northwest) by a great filmmaker trying to say a great deal with so very little.

	Filmtracks: Paycheck (John Powell)
		Paycheck: (John Powell) The concept and execution of Paycheck is consistent with both the stories of author Philip K. Dick and the directing of John Woo.
		The concept of Paycheck is closer to the thrilling futuristic aspects of Minority Report than anything else, with Ben Affleck playing a brilliant scientist who does secretive work for large corporations with the understanding that upon being paid, his memory of the project would be erased.
		As for Paycheck specifically, the score's lack of dominating thematic development is easily countered by such vibrant action cues as "Hog Chase Part 2," which alone elevates this score beyond the usual level of unsophisticated music you often hear in John Woo films.

	Paycheck
		Paycheck dumbs down Dick and then takes away many of the big explosions Woo likes, giving a lesser amalgam of the two; still enjoyable, but without any depth of meaning.
		Paycheck also comes out relatively quickly after The Bourne Identity, a better film with a similar story structure.
		Paycheck becomes a race for Jennings to figure out what each item means, and what he exactly he worked on.

	Paycheck
		Paycheck is the latest in a long line of movies loosely inspired by the works of the late Philip K. Dick.
		And despite being helmed by John Woo, Paycheck features some of the most lackluster and uninspired martial arts fights and car-chase scenes we've seen in a long, long time.
		Apparently the centerpiece technology of the future-viewing device (of whatever the heck you call it) is a lens so powerful it can bend light "all the way around the universe", thus allowing the future to be seen.

		This is cinematic cotton candy at its most caloric, and could pass as worthy yet inconsequential entertainment if it only had a tenth of a brain.
		Gives further proof of the eroding skills of filmmaker John Woo, for whom Paycheck is surely a career low.
		Paycheck's no breakthrough, but it's the tightest John Woo movie since his Hong Kong heyday.

		Paycheck is (another film) based on a on a Philip K. Dick short story.
		Quite enjoyable in a rather mindless way but much of it is unbelievable (a ninja engineer and a kung-fu botanist?!?) and a number of inconsistencies to creep in which detract from the film.

		Paycheck has a lot going for it: an intriguing premise provided courtesy of the legendary SF author Philip K. Dick and is directed by the renowned John Woo.
		Unfortunately it also has a leading man in Ben Affleck (Daredevil), one of the blandest actors vying for Hollywood’s action movie crown now that Harrison Ford is on pension.

		Paycheck aspires to follow in their footsteps: An engineer (Ben Affleck, Chasing Amy) routinely agrees to have his memory erased after every job so that he doesn't know what he's done.
		"Paycheck" is unnecessarily heavy on the action: There's a lot of motorcycle acrobatics and stuntman fights, despite the hero being a nerdy engineer.
		Those slight shortcomings aside, Paycheck delivers on its' promise to thouroughly engross the viewer by delivering a future scene much more feasible than other more weak kneed futuristic thrillers that only rely on special effects to catapult their stories along.

		In the sci-fi thriller, Paycheck elements of The Bourne Identity combine with aspects of Minority Report.
		The latter connection is not surprising considering that Report and Paycheck are adapted from stories by sci-fi author, Philip K Dick and in both it is the idea of being able to look into the future on which most of the action that ensues is predicated.
		This time, the memory erasing procedure is also different and involves a preliminary injection administered not by Shorty but by Rethrick’s sidekick, Wolfe (Colm Feore).

	Paycheck (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		from Queens, NY "Paycheck" is yet another adaptation of a Philip Dick short story that tones down his political criticism and cynicism to make a sci fi adventure flick, this time pretty much as an expensive and clever "McGyver" episode.
		You can tell how this is expanded from a story where the hero had five items/clues and now he has 20.
		While I did see the movie on a scratchy print with tinny sound, I don't think that explained the confusingly bad continuity in the hair and make-up such that I thought they had been time-traveling at some tropical vacation in between scenes.
