Payback is a stark and gloomy darkly comic slow-paced action movie. Mel Gibson plays a clever yet stubborn man who gets beaten up troughout the movie by his former corhorts in crime who took the money they stole together. He gets beaten up because he takes things from them that are very valuable and uses them as ransom for his money. I found Payback to be somewhat enjoyable to a degree, but at times, I noticed I was suprisingly bored. The film had a great soundtrack featuring Frank Sinatra. The soundtrack oddly fit in with the movie's dark humor and copius violence commited on the unstoppable Gibson and the fight he put up against them fore a mere amount of money.
