Payback (1999 film)

Payback is a 1999 American neo-noir black comedy action thriller film written and directed by Brian Helgeland in his directorial debut, and starring Mel Gibson, Gregg Henry, Maria Bello, and David Paymer. It is based on the novel The Hunter by Donald E. Westlake using the pseudonym Richard Stark, which had earlier been adapted into the 1967 film noir classic Point Blank, directed by John Boorman and starring Lee Marvin.
In 2006, Helgeland issued a director's cut that differs substantially from the version released by the studio.
