Porter�s a ruthless thug who goes after what he wants with a vengeance.

However after Porter learns that his partner has used the money to join "The Outfit," he decides that they owe him instead. With the aid of a prostitute he used to work for, he pursues what he's entitled to. The theatrical version and director�s cut share the same material. Although they are similar, the endings are not. Porter�s more edgy, brutal and less humorous in the director�s cut. Also the film's color is less noir-suggestive and more dynamic looking. Some of the actors have changed too. Other changes include a score replacement, narration removal, and no softening quips. Either way, �Payback� is a tour de force of singleminded unfettered brutality! (less)
