Sadly this movie is not exciting...
I like John Woo's 'The Killer' very much.

[Gimpenstein]

I realllly liked this movie! Been hoping it would see a Blu release. Sadly, I think I'll be in the minority.
Hopefully, being Paramount, it'll be region free.

[Sky_Captain]

Terrible movie.

[Xorp]

Poor John Woo, hasn't made a good flick since the 90's.

[Spymaster]

I really like this movie, although that's probably more for John Powell's superb score than it is for the movie itself.

It's an OK movie. Woo hasn't made a good US film since the '90s (Face/Off), thankfully now he has gone back home and cranked out Red Cliff.

Now I am waiting for a John Woo pack of his excellent HK films.

The Killer
Hard Boiled
A Better Tomorrow I, II
Bullet in the Head

Yeah this movie was decent. Not worth a blu ray purchase though.

Give me Better Tomorrow on blu!

[sachinwalia]

I'd have loved Hard Target instead. this movie pretty much canned John Woo's career in Hollywood.

Blu-ray.com Review

[Mr.White]

Mr. Woo needs to go back to his Hong Kong roots,those movies he made w/ Chow Yun Fat were the bomb!

[Nick VanWilder]

Paycheck is ok and looks amazing on blu ray but I would rather have Hard Target

[Bluray_ne1]

I have to admit that I really enjoy this movie. It's obviously not the most well done sci-fi movie ever, but I like the action, the characters and the premise is intriguing. For me, it's one of those guilty pleasure movies that will definitely have a place on the shelf. I'm just glad that the Blu-ray release is of significantly improved quality over the DVD, otherwise, I would have skipped it.

[Teabaggins]

if they want to keep releasing such crappy movies why can't they just make me happy and release the "Surviving the Game"

[kemcha]

Finally, I've been waiting for the price of this movie to drop. $25 was just a tad too pricey for me to purchase this film but in two short weeks, the first week in January, this film finally gets released again at $9.99. While not the best film, I still enjoyed this movie very much.

I respectfully disagree. When faced with the choice of losing either the character development or the action, I for one am glad to have a version that forfeits neither.

[mastadge]

Haven't seen the film, but John Powell's score is magnificent.

[kemcha]

Paycheck, a cool popcorn movie.
