Payback was an enormously troubled shoot with the theatrical version ripped apart by studio meddling. Director Brian Helgeland recently put the film back together as intended (Payback - Straight Up) and is supposed to be almost completely different and much, much better. One to keep an eye out for.

Unless they've cut-out all the bits with Mel in, I won't bother thanks.

As violent films rely on violence for their emotional response the violence is sanitised in order to make it acceptable. The audience hears he pop of a silenced gun and the victim is dead silently and presumably without pain.
