Watched Paycheck with Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman. Great premise. Good cast. Terrible execution. Got dumb. Endless fight scenes. Some of the worst acting by Uma Thurman I’ve ever seen in my entire life. 

Now I don’t wanna go off on a rant here, but I just realized John Woo is one of the worst, most over-rated directors in history. He takes good casts, scripts with interesting premises, and turns them into movies with not only bad acting, but horrifically epically bad acting, dumb plots, and endless boring fight scenes. Besides Paycheck, he directed Face Off, Broken Arrow, and Mission Impossible 2, the worst of the MI series. Getting fired by Tom Cruise should tell you something. 

Each of his movies leave me frustrated with having to see him waste acting talent and good script concepts. That is all.

A Few Good Men-

After Cruise decides to enter the plea he tells the others they will work on the case nightly at 7 and to pick up “a half a dozen boxes of red pens and half a dozen boxes of blue pens”.  I’ve seen this movie dozens of times and that never hit me before.  Assuming a “box” is 20 pens, WTF are they doing with 240 pens?
