Summary

The Payback theatrical cut approaches the film with more levity than the director's cut which didn't get released until a handful of years later. It's a great lesson in how different a film can feel with clever editing, filters, and a change of music. Regardless of the version you prefer one thing is absolutely true; Mel Gibson is fantastic as Porter.
