Paycheck

by John Woo

Starring: Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, Aaron Eckhart

2003

Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck) 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 can’t breach security. But at the end of a 3-year job, he’s told he isn’t getting a paycheck and instead receives a mysterious envelope.
