I loved this film so much in the early 2000’s. A few years ago I said to my wife we have to watch this after discovering she’s never seen it. Oh but wait, it’s not the version I watched. It’s not even the same bad guy. That’s not the version I wanted.
Payback with Mel Gibson (pre-rant) was one of my favorite movies. Lots of dark humor, a solid revenge story, and quippy dialog
Agreed. However, this is important: Stay the hell away from the Director’s Cut. It changes and ruins the movie in every conceivable way.

I had the same experience and realized that Director’s Cuts can ruin movies.
I love Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise films. Shitty, shitty people. Good director and actor.
As much as Tom Cruise is problematic, he also likes to sign on to do really good standalone Sci-Fi.
