Payback (1999)Directed by Brian Helgeland, rated R, 100 minutes
Payback is a devilishly dark and witty action thriller about a tough criminal who, after beating tricked, robbed, shot and left to die by his wife and friend, hatches a revenge plot to get his money back. Mel Gibson has never been better or more likable, but a lot of it is his brutal and darkly hilarious character. The story cleverly plays with revenge thriller tropes, with plenty of twists and turns and ridiculously memorable dialogue. Payback is based on the same book that inspired Point Blank,
and like that classic thriller, Payback is at the top of it's genre and just a heck of a lot of fun. You'll like it if: You like crime comedies, revenge thrillers, Get Carter, Pulp Fiction, Point Blank or The Way of the Gun.
