Feb 5, 1999 · There is much cleverness and ingenuity in “Payback,” but Mel Gibson is the key. The movie wouldn’t work with an actor who was heavy on his feet, or was too sincere about the material. Gibson is essentially an action comedian, who enters into violence with a bemused detachment (“Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”).
Porter (Mel Gibson) is a thief betrayed by both his wife, Lynn (Deborah Kara Unger), and his partner, Val (Gregg Henry), when he is shot in the back after a heist.

Aug 15, 2010 · Tackily dubbed 'Payback - Straight-Up' in the States, Helgeland's Cut is, in itself, a superior revenge thriller, dark, blackly witty, with smart one-liners, plenty of film noir action, some superb performances - not least Gibson on top form - and lots of brutality.
While instant payback would have made for a very short movie, there are some nice twists and turns that make for an entertaining movie. Although a thug and most likely a menace to any society, you start to sympathize with Porter throughout the movie.
