An envelope full of seemingly valueless items can sometimes mean the difference between rich and poor or even life or death. It's time to compare the classic PKD story 'Paycheck' with its not so classic translation to film 'Paycheck.' Anthony was lucky enough to be away working on other projects, leaving David and Langhorne alone to handle this one. PLUS: Jessica Biel is not Jennifer Beals. The cultural origin of Rethrick. And John Woo Cast.
