Rewatched Payback recently with Mel Gibson earier, actually I checked the Straight Up version (AKA director's cut). I forgot how great the film is since its been so long since I last saw it. I know the Straight Up version differs significantly towards the end, but a majority of the movie remains the same, with the exception of the way its edited together. Porter is such a badass character, it was nice to see his somewhat return in Get the Gringo recently. I can't say which version is better since its been ages sine I saw the theatrical cut, but as far as the film itself goes, it's great. Despite Mel's dubious professional and personal choices lately, it's nice to go back and see a film when he was still dishing out quality flicks. If you haven't seen either versions of Payback yet, then watch it ASAP 8/10
