Better movie

16 years, 3 months ago at Nov 29 16:17
Movie works better with darker tone, but still retains the humour without seeming goofy. Only thing is at 86 minutes, the ending feels abrupt -- perhaps not quite as "70's" as the filmmakers hoped.

Square, no-frills thriller that hangs up the 70's wagon with panache. An excellent raw neo-noir. With Lucy Liu in it.

300 & 99 From The 1st Decade Of The New Millennium (399 movies items)

"ย  ย To anyone who may have seen Payback when it was first released in theaters, it may seem strange that I'm including a 1999 movie on a list of films from the New Millennium.ย But this version here, Straight Up, is a director's cut that features the original edit from, obviously, the director's initial vision of the story. That story being that of a lifetime criminal looking to get revenge for the death of his wife, although he disguises it more as a quest to redeem some payment that is owed t"
