Back of the Box:
    From director John Woo (M:I-2 and Face/Off) comes this futuristic thriller that combines spectacular action sequences with a spellbinding mystery that will keep you guessing from beginning to breathtaking end...
    Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck) is a brilliant computer engineer hired for top-secret projects. After each job, Jennings' short-term memory is erased so he cannot recount any project information. Emerging from his latest assignment, a three-year contract with an eight-figure paycheck given to him by his longtime friend (Aaron Eckhart), Jennings is jolted when he is told that during the end of his assignment, he agreed to forfeit all payment.
    Jennings has no recourse - until he receives a mysterious envelope containing clues to his forgotten past. With the help of beautiful scientist (Uma Thurman) he once loved but now cannot remember, Jennings races to solve the puzzle of his past... while a terrifying discovery waits in his future.

Notes: This movie is based off of a short story by Phillip K. Dick, the same man who wrote the stories that spawned Blade Runner, and Minority Report.
    John Woo originally wanted Matt Damon to play the lead role, but Damon, fearing getting type cast declined citing the similarities between this character and his character in The Bourne Identity. Damon then suggested Ben Affleck to John Woo, and the rest is history
