Review of Payback

Payback (I) (1999)
6/10
Thoroughly enjoyable violence by "straight" bad guy
15 January 2002
Even for someone who does not particularly like violence this film is thoroughly enjoyable for it sets a justice-seeking "bad guy" (who was double-crossed by wife and best friend) against the arrogant bosses of "The Outfit". The plot is full of surprises, some painful ones, and some rather... rewarding. Nice "bad guy" Mel Gibson is quite likeable and hooker girls friend Maria Bello displays redeeming softness.
