Summary: Disappointed in the Director's Cut
Comment: Where was Kris Kristopherson?! Why was he taken completely out of the director's cut? Or was he added for the theatrical version? Whatever the answer I feel like it was less of a movie without him. To me, the lady on the speakerphone seemed to be a bad edit to replace a very good character.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Watch the theatrical release instead
Comment: Warning: Spoiler alert. I was not impressed with the rework of this movie. And the fact that it doesn't include the original theatrical release made me even less impressed. They lose the voiceover in this version and simplify the plot. Kris Kristofferson's character is completely eliminated and the kidnapping of his son is gone as a result. The end of the movie is simple: Meet the bad guys and kill them for the money. Any of the cleverness of Mel Gibson's character is gone and all that's left is his brutality. Forget this version and watch the original.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not good.
Comment: I LOVE Payback... the theatrical release. One of the scenes that stand out the most to me - is when Mel gets his toes crushed by a sledge hammer. This version... does not have that. In fact there are a couple people that he kills in the theatrical version - that dont die in this one. This version was a disappoinment to say the least.

Summary: Pay Back in HD directors cut
Comment: I saw this movie when first released and thought it was another great movie with Mel Gibson a good thriller with some action and a great payback so bought the standard DVD and now the HD Directors Cut DVD four and a half out of five Recommended .
Customer Rating:
Summary: Theatrical release much better the Director's Cut
Comment: The ending for the Theatrical release of Payback is much better than the Director's Cut. To top that off the Director's Cut does not even contain the Theatrical release ending. Wish I could return it for the Theatrical release, but I'll just have to buy the Theatrical release and dump this somewhere else...
