Alec B A clear improvement over the theatrical release. Leaner, meaner, and more consistent. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Can't speak for the theatrical cut, but this often-touted as "improved" director's cut was pretty good. Although I can't see myself revisiting it any time soon, the slick production along with the likeable screen-presence of Mel Gibson made 'Payback' entertaining if nothing else. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 5/13/2017: This version is garbage! This alternative ending was horrible compared to the original. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review don s This was totally unbelievable - from the main character's return from his demise to the final scene, none of it could be taken seriously. However, I'm a huge fan of Gibson, the actor (as opposed to Gibson the person), andI love me some Maria Bello any chance I can watch her. Both were quite credible int heir portrayals of these inconceivably stupid characters. Because of these two, I actually enjoyed the finished product.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member In my personal experience it with directors cuts they always seem to be much better this is only time I've ever seen a movie that I absolutely loved so I decided to buy this directors cut it is a completely different film and in my opinion is not good whatsoever. I cannot recommend the theatrical version enough now I understand why the studio did what they did with extensive re-shoots and script changes.
