    Whether the predicted future can be changed can still be attributed to fatalism and non-fatalism. I prefer the former. If the predicted future can be changed, the predicted future is not the future. It can only be regarded as one of the possibilities of the future. In the book, the turtle said to Mao Mao that if I foresee that I will meet Mr. Gray at a certain corner in an hour, no matter how we go around, we will definitely appear at that corner and meet...

    Hollywood suspense script and special effects, plus John Woo's inherent hero, narrow sense, gunfight and racing action scenes, it looks very enjoyable. The traces of the combination of Chinese and Western are still obvious, although the protagonist has obvious Hong Kong-style Jianghu temperament, it is not very suitable Hollywood, the white dove part can't help but make people spoof. The plot is medium, the characters are not three-dimensional enough, Ben Alfred is stiff, and Uma Thurman...

    6.1 It was only when I realized that John Woo was so "Hollywood", he took the details: 20 items, a woman's words "you don't want to have another try? give up so easy?" to the extreme, but it was quickly seen through. Suddenly feel that all about predicting the future is a copy of the Greek Oedipus...

    There was a trailer for a movie on the TV. Looking at the long face of Ben Affleck in the film, I said to East that this is John Woo’s empty check, and he asked, how do you know, while talking, I saw a pigeon flying by, east said, well, now i believe...

    This is a scifi-movie, although it combines with John Woo's action and suspense.

    The overall performance of this film is quite satisfactory, there are neither grand scenes or unexpected plots that amaze me, nor people can directly guess from the title. ending. 20 small objects, a series of...

Paycheck quotes

  • [Michael and Rachel have entered the inner sanctum, where the computer is which, presumably, Michael designed or reverse-engineered]

    Michael Jennings: Let's take a look at the future before we destroy this thing.

    [Jennings looks intense, then smiles as he discovers that he innately knows how to place his fingers and palms on the devices. But his smile turns to a frown as he discovers the same virus message that Brown has been receiving: ERROR - 41. He taps at some controls, then whispers:]

    Michael Jennings: I bugged it! I rigged it, so Jimmy wouldn't use it against me.

    Rachel Porter: Then you can fix it, right?

    [He sighs and climbs down into the engineering section]

    Michael Jennings: Where would I have planted that bug? Maybe I wanted the motherboards. Whoa! Whoa!

    [He sees that Rachel has picked up a monkey wrench]

    Michael Jennings: We won't be needing this, okay? You're dangerous with that thing!

    [He seizes the monkey wrench and tosses it away onto the ground. Rachel's fingers curl against her bosom]

    Rachel Porter: You must have given yourself something to help you find it.

    Michael Jennings: I know. The only things left would be are the bullet and the, this.

    Rachel Porter: The crossword?

    Michael Jennings: Yeah!

    Michael Jennings: [He studies it] Look at this: 12-Down.

    [the clue is circled in ink and it reads: Used for changing connections in a circuit]

    Michael Jennings: Maybe it's here.

    Michael Jennings: [He counts circuits until he comes to the twelfth] Maybe it's a circuit diagram? I wouldn't have put it in the primary path. Twelve down.

    [By placing the crossword puzzle over the grid, he discovers the bug; and he looks at Rachel with sly pride. They grin at each other. The virus warning turns into a pleasing display on the screen]

    Michael Jennings: [In another room, Rethrick has been spying on them and has followed their progress]

    Jimmy Rethrick: Take 'em.

    Wolfe: Okay, Corridor 3, Level A: Jennings' lab.

    [Rethrick arms his pistol and starts walking]

  • Michael Jennings: Oh, my God, it's the future. The machine predicts a war - and we go to war to avert it. It predicts a plague - we herd all the sick together, create a plague. Whatever future this predicts, *we* make happen. We give over control of our lives completely. I did this... Seeing the future will destroy us.

    Michael Jennings: If you show someone their future, they have no future. You take away the mystery, you take away hope.

    Michael Jennings: I have to go back. I have to destroy that machine.
