From Publishers Weekly
The moral and
the atmosphere of the recent Paramount Pictures film
Paycheck differ significantly from those in the original
short story performed here—a fact obscured by the movie-poster
packaging and one that might confuse listeners. Jennings, a
mechanic, signs on at Retherick Construction, agreeing to be paid
richly on the condition that his memory will be wiped clean of
everything he did after he completes his two years of service. When
he awakes, his memory erased, he discovers that he had declined the
money in favor of seven seemingly random items which he must use to
avoid the Special Police, who are investigating Retherick
Construction. Narrator Dullea does a fine job of evoking the
story’s tension as well as Jennings’s puzzlement over his
situation. However, he lends the story’s one female character a
saccharine, whispery voice that detracts from the narration.
Although this audio adaptation may please fans of the movie who are
interested in seeing how the original story has been altered for
the silver screen, those looking for an introduction to the
author’s works would do better to pick up the collection on which
this audio is based, Paycheck: And Other Classic
Stories.
