I've seen this about 50 times...


This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's such an easy and satisfying watch. I sometimes just leave it on in the background.

ive seen it like 4 times, and that feels like too many.

Just watched it again, very enjoyable flick....still need to see the director’s cut....

reply

WHICH VERSION?...THEATRICAL OR DIRECTORS?

reply

i like theatrical better

reply

ME TOO...I OWN BOTH THOUGH.

Just watched the director's cut for the first time, the theatrical is much better. Would never watch the director's cut again.

reply

THAT IS PROBABLY HOW IT PLAYS OUT WITH ME TOO.

i like the theatrical cut best. lucy liu was so hot when i first saw it. "payback never gave up" homer simpson

reply

Lucy Liu is hot every time I watch it :)

reply

Only 50 haha? I know opinion is personal, but I don't think this can be labeled as guilty pleasure, it's a genuinelly good movie, at least the Theatrical Cut.

reply

I love this movie but never saw the director's cut. What about it makes it the lesser of the two? Should I still give it a go?

reply

this is a real directors cut! the main bad guy is completely changed and the whole 3rd act is completely different as well. haven't seen a cut like this that changed so much from the original.

reply

Which do you prefer?

reply

I wouldnt dare. They give it color and this is part of what I like about the movie. Not worth it.

reply

What's guilty about it? It's a solid film. Not the best film ever made but it's enjoyable and true to itself.

I think I am at about 14.

Five or six, at least. Every time I'm staying in a hotel/motel somewhere, it seems like Payback is on TV, and I have to watch it. It's awesome.
