This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I could practically predict what was going to happen at every turn during the movie! Do yourself a favor and don't rent this movie like i did! It wasn't worthy of the title "Payback" or even a B grade rating. The movie had so many clichés that I almost feel asleep watching it. I don't normally have many negative things to say about movies, even average ones. But this one was so bad that I just had to "review" the movie to stop people from wasting money on it. Major FAIL. I would give this movie less than a zero, but the voting scale doesn't allow me to do that! So the official rating is 1 out of 10.

Disgusted Las Vegas cop Christopher Atkins (as Sean Walker) quits the police force, after partner Gavin Glennon (as Lyle) is killed in a shoot-out with crooked Costas Mandylor (as Billy). Mr. Atkins blames his pal's death on the lack of back-up provided by fellow officer Michael Leon (as Barnett), who seems more interested in sex and booze than fighting crime. The psychotically homicidal Mr. Mandylor gets a bullet-induced limp, and life in prison without parole. Atkins moves to the country.Ten years later, Atkins has split with sexy red-haired wife Angie Everhart (as Samantha) and budding Lesbian daughter Wendy Norton (as Jessica), but the trio enjoy visitations. Their lives are disrupted by the escape of Mandylor, hell bent on killing everyone who sent him to jail. Atkins is called into action by the Las Vegas Police Department he left a decade earlier, by corrupt officer Leon, who has been promoted to Captain. Mandylor terrorizes Atkins and family. "Payback" only fills time.*** Payback (2006) Winston W. Champ ~ Christopher Atkins, Angie Everhart, Costas Mandylor, Michael Leon

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"

predictable and horrid storyline, dialog, characters, etc.paid $1.08 to rent and felt robbed paying even that amount.kept watching for some socially redeeming value and found none.cover shows fiery explosions. don't be misled. highest notable spfx - poorly done gunshot in the back.NOT an action film.feel sorry for those involved and hope it won't spoil the rest of their career.was thinking it might be a remake of the mel Gibson payback, but this stinker has nothing in common except the title. what a shame for mel.gratuitous, unnecessary, and unfulfilling sex and violence scenes.characters seemed uncaringly simple and incomplete. "where's your mom?", and "how's my uncle?" are two lines that the lead should have verbalized or acted on. i'm still waiting.given time i may be able to, but for now can't remember seeing anything worse.
