Full Plot Details

Porter is bad, but his neighbours are worse. Street-wise and tough, an ex-marine, he is betrayed by a one-time partner, and shot in the back by his junkie wife. He survives and returns, looking to recover his share from the robbery of an Asian crime gang. The money has passed into the hands of "the Outfit", a slick gangster organisation that runs the city. He has to make his way through a world populated by heroin dealers, prostitutes, sado-masochists, gunmen and crooked cops, a place where torture is a way of life. His only friend is a former employer, a prostitute, and her loyalty is in question, given she now works for the Outfit. He makes good early progress, but then falls into the hands of Fairfax, the crime boss.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSallePayback has a completely different spirit from "L.A. Confidential'' -- more wild, more silly -- but it has the same attention to the fine points of plot and character.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 8/10 by James SanfordIt may be bloody, sleazy and populated entirely by trashy people, but this picture is also subtly stylish, sensationally acted and - if you appreciate extremely bitter humor - pretty funny as well. Somehow, someday, somewhere, 'Payback' will get its due.
CNN.com - 8/10 by Paul Clinton (CNN.com)This film is riddled with cliches and impossible situations.
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Liz BraunThe strangest marriage of '30s noir and '90s hyper-action imaginable, and if the end result is a sort of cartoon, it's a fun cartoon to look at.
Hollywood Report Card - 8/10 by Ross AnthonyThis movie is packed with surprises, gunfire and humor; it's a fun action flick you shouldn't miss.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThere is much cleverness and ingenuity in Payback, but Mel Gibson is the key. The movie wouldn't work with an actor who was heavy on his feet, or was too sincere about the material.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marc SavlovHelgeland's film positively seethes with bad vibrations; it's kicky, nasty urban sangfroid with pointy little teeth and a serious case of the angries, an existential hand grenade disguised as a heist film.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliWhile there's quite a bit more graphic bloodshed and brutality here than in any of the late screen icon's vehicles, Payback is a worthy '90s successor to his kind of movie.
Calgary Movies - 8/10 by Ryan CracknellA solid enough action comedy, albeit one that had a lot of potential to be wittier and darker.
Dallas Observer - 7/10 by Andy KleinHelgeland makes a solid debut as director here, finding a new angle through which to view the Parker character, and doing so without exhausting the possibilities.
