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. August 26, 2008

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 . August 25, 2008

rating: 1 QuoteTheatrical release much better the Director's CutQuote
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... August 16, 2008

This is almost a completely different film from the theatrical release (which I thoroughly enjoyed) Gone is the voice over and in it's place is an implied narrative that needs no explanation. Porter is a bad man. But he has principles. And he has no problem whatsoever in following those principles with an almost single-minded focus. The last act has none of the elements of the theatrical release. Which to me, is a vast improvement. Honestly, the version I saw in the theaters just seemed a little too... Martin Riggs. Which is not bad, but when it's supposed to be a completely different character in a completely different universe, it just doesn't seem right. Especially after watching the Director's Cut. I highly recommend watching both and making up your own mind. August 8, 2008

I was pretty pissed off that this directors cut was completely different than the released version. Ultimately I bought it caused I liked the released version. Usually Director's cut movies have some added scenes and stuff like that, this movie had entirely different scenes, different ending and Chris Kristofferson isn't even in the movie. Oh boy!!
