Review of Payback

Payback (II) (2007)
1/10
a trite, clichéd mess
17 December 2008
After Billy (Costas Mandylor of the Saw films) is sent to prison for killing Sean Walker's (Blue Lagoon's Christopher Atkins) partner (among other things), Sean quits the police fore and moves his family to an isolated ranch where he takes work as a farmhand with his dad. Ten years later, Billy is back on the streets after escaping and looking to settle the score with Sean by hitting him where he hurts most, his family, including his wife the left him (Angie Everhart) and their homely sex-crazed, bi-curious daughter. (don't get too excited as that aspect of the story goes nowhere)

This film is a heavily-clichéd, extremely badly acted, horribly written 'action revenge' picture. This not only pales greatly in comparison to Mel Gibson's similarly name "Payback", but also is the worst film with the name that I've seen yet (to this date i've seen 5 of those named films as well as a TV film, all much better then this one) Don't bother renting this one unless you have a stalkerish fascination with Angie Everhart

Eye candy: An extra gets topless; Nicole LeVoy shows T&A (there's also nudity in the trailers for "Natasha" & "Distortion")

My Grade: D-

DVD Extras: Trailers for "Kush", "Good girl, Bad girl", "Natasha" , "Army of the Dead", "This thing of ours", & "Distortion"
