7 Feb - I saw the movie last night and was totally disgusted.
Payback is a terribly bloody and extremely violent film with no redeeming
or entertainment value! None of the characters was likeable. The story
line was boring and there were no intelligent actions or lines anywhere
in the movie. As a Mel Gibson fan I can't believe he agreed to star in
this film let alone do it. I hope he was paid well. All in all a waste
of time and money. -- Disappointed fan in Hawaii.
