A reverse engineer who is hired to steel and improve on new technology.
After the job is done, his memory gets erased to protect all involved
while receiving a hefty paycheck (hence the name??)
He decides to team up with an old friend to do one final job that will
pay for an early retirement. When the job is done, things don’t
seem to be normal. By receiving a bag full of what was supposed to be
his belongings, he must put the pieces together to find out who is after
him and why.
You get a bit of a “minority report” feel to it at first,
with the advanced technology, but this movie is also jam packed with action.
A love interest that I think kept some of her moves from “Kill Bill”,
but can she be trusted? The suspense is good, because you’re trying
to figure out whom he can really trust. Not a lot of originality, but
I liked the concept. I think this device would be good for only one thing
and you’ll know what I mean by the end of the movie. The best part
is trying to figure out what the items in his bag are going to be used
for.
