Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

Not one of John Woo’s better films for sure but enjoyable for what it tries to do. Full of holes when you try to break it down but whatever. Despite the silly ending it’s a decent thriller once you accept the rules they attempt to establish.  And it looks good. I’d revisit someday.
