Movie Review: Flash Back Good Stuff From The 70's
Summary: 5 Stars
This flick is on par with many great action flicks of the late 60's and the 70's. The Seven Ups, The Mechanic, Bullet, Point Blank (Lee Marvin), French Connection, Super Fly, --- The time honored "Anti-Hero" movie where a semi bad or (real bad) guy gets some revenge and a whole lot of action along the way. He takes his lumps and gives back 10 Fold. This is a funny, juicy, fast paced action flick that has made it to my personal library on video and DVD! This was the Mel Gibson film I was waiting for. No "Family" picture here. This is the "Road Warrior" Mel -- back in action.Movie Review: It's good to see him bad!
Summary: 5 Stars
He's bad to the bone. Be sure to get the DVD because this movie is packed full of explosions and gunfights. It also contains another "let's torture Mel Gibson" scene. There's been one in Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Conspiracy Theory, someother, I forget at the moment, and in this movie. The movie has action all throughout, and when you think it's finished...it isn't. The Asian actress from Alley McBeal is also starring as one hot S&M babe. I say pay for Payback! It's better to see him here as a tough, bad guy then as an old, wimpy, happy camper cop in Lethal Weapon 4.Movie Review: that's just mean
Summary: 5 Stars
dark and dreary, perfect for a revenge movie. payback was shocking from the gruesome scenes such as the hammering of 'piggies' and the ripping of the rings out of the heroine dealer's nose. this movie was great. porter is the man who has almost nothing to lose and won't stop no matter what the cost to get his 70,000 dollars, not 130,000. lucy liu looked great as a pain loving 'working girl'. i just loved how porter made people listen who didn't want to listen. the lack of color adds to the effective crime life scenerio. after all is done, you find it hard not to root for this antihero.Movie Review: A man who knows exactly his price... 70K
Summary: 5 Stars
A very simple plot : Porter (Mel Gibson) has been shot for USD 70,000 (his share of a robbery from China gang). And luckily, he survives and wants the money back.The story then goes a little bit complicated after : [1] dirty cops want to have share, [2] the China gang wants revenge, and [3] mob organization whom his partner give his money to.
But... Porter will do whatever it takes to get the money back. The stake is very high, but what he wants is only his 70K.
This is the movie, I first caught Lucy Liu in movie. Although playing small role, but her action is unforgettable.
Movie Review: PAYBACK with mel Gibson
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was released in theaters in 1999. It is violent, has no good guys and has little social redeaming value. I loved it. It is a great guy movie.
However the same title was re-released on DVD as a Directors Cut in 2006. The Directors Cut is very disappointing and not half as entertaining as the Theatrical Release. Some of the best action is deleted and Kris Kristophersons role is totally eliminated.
My recommendation is buy/rent the 1999 release. Skip the Directors Cut unless you just want to compare the two of them.
