Payback (UK)

Dark, funny and anabsolutely great remake of Point Blank. gibson plays Porter who only wants his $70,000 back which was stolen from him in a double-cross robbery. The film is filmed very dark and adds even more to the films attraction. Not many features but who cares when you have a film as good as this? Highly recommended

Film Noir Pseudo nonsense. Cartoonish violence and character`s dominate the film, It does have some sense of style though. but it`s a fizzle

Enjoyable and nice to see Mel back in the Lethal Weapon 1 method of acting - i.e. getting the s*** kicked out of him!!

Good film, which is watchable several times.

Limited extras don`t hamper this one too much, especially for £10!

Did not fancy this at all, but girlfiend insisted (Gibson fan)
and i really enjoyed it. Simple plot, Mel (Porter) is ripped off
and he wants his `paytback` (70,000) cue Mr bad, hard, cool,
crazy, doing his stuff. The picture quality is very good with a tinge of dark blue to it, which add`s a dark cool look to the film, there are some scenes that i noticed had the odd black
dots or lines apearing from time to time during the middle of the film, but these soon disappear. The sound is good also with ample use of the surround speakers plenty of gunshots
and whacks to be heard, as well as a memorable `James Brown` number (i actually thought he was behind me) The extras are a let down, although there are feedback from Mel & Lucy , they have just been `pinched` from some tv spot and it shows. what would have been great was some outakes, there must have been some funny moments with the `sado` fighting scenes and with Mel Gibson himself, a commentry would have been nice too. Overall this is a very enjoyable film which is shot crisply, and with a cool blue look to it. It has a pretty good cast and is even comical in parts, if you for once want to root for the `bad` guy, this is the film. Just about worth the £20.

This film noir was a bit too noir for my taste… good video & audio, just a shame about the extras (although some is better than none, I suppose!). If you're a Mel Gibson fan then this is well worth renting… but not one that is really worth a purchase.
