Like a lot
of mini reviews of late I’m going into this one without having watched it

Batman and Robin and directed by Jon Woo, director of the worst of the Mission

Released in
2003 to poor reviews (27% on Rotten Tomatoes with an average 4.7/10) Paycheck

make its money back. Here’s my thoughts as to why.
