Great movie, kinda sorta spoilers

For whatever reason, I've been putting off see this movie, even though all signs pointed to me liking it. Well I finally watched it on Netflix, and wow I was impressed.
I really liked Payback, one of Gibson's best. And I thoroughly enjoyed watching Gingo with the idea of this being the next chapter of Porter in my mind. There are some obvious reasons why it's not (Porter is much better at hand to hand combat, for instance), but for the most part it works.
I'll be recommending this to my friends!

Yep, many people think about it in that way as well.
It's a great film, and it's very different than a lot of other films. Mel and 2 others actually wrote it.

I like your name too!

Thanks! I like your tagline! Although Elvis would disagree. ;)

There are similarities , but Driver seems a lot less "intense" than Porter.🐭

I too put off watching this movie for so long. I was able to pick the bluray up for $6.00 so I decided to give it a try and I found myself thoroughly enjoying this movie. Highly recommended.
