Michael Jennings is a genius who's hired – and paid handsomely – by high-tech firms to work on highly sensitive projects, after which his short-term memory is erased so he's incapable of breaching security. But at the end of a three-year job, he's told he isn't getting a paycheck and instead receives a mysterious envelope. In it are clues he must piece together to find out why he wasn't paid – and why he's now in hot water.
Where to Watch Paycheck
Paycheck Ratings & Reviews
- ColeJuly 30, 2025Chekhov’s gun the movie. Really liked Uma Thurman in this. Need to watch more Hitchcock.
- ZokkiieJune 27, 2025This film is a decent sci-fi action movie that’s entertaining enough, even if it doesn’t do anything groundbreaking. It’s got a cool premise, some slick action, and moves at a good pace. Affleck is okay in the lead, but the film never really digs in or surprises you. A solid watch if you’re in the mood for something light and fast.
- Ted MaloneDecember 25, 2025Typically I enjoy both Affleck and Thurman, but this just seemed like a C movie at best. Very strange plot and zero character development. Had a hard time finishing it.
