Payback (1999)

 

Directed by Brian Helgeland. Director's Cut DVD. Mel Gibson. Parker by Donald E. Westlake. Same book as Point Blank (1967). This cut is quite a bit different. And better. It's a meaner cut. David Paymer, Maria Bello, Bill Duke, John Glover, William Devane. Kristofferson is in one cut, not the other.
