I just caught this movie on Netflix last night while just looking for something to watch while folding laundry. I gotta say I really enjoyed it. Looks like it came out in 2012. I totally missed it then. Glad I stumbled upon it last night. I'd say it's worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

Yeah, it's been collecting dust in the Netflix archive for a long while. An underrated movie, to be sure.

Yeah, it kinda flew under the radar, I think because the hate for Mel was pretty fresh at the time. I had never even heard of it until I saw it in the used DVD section of a pawnshop, so I figured for a few bucks, I'd give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised.

Actually, yes. With the narration by Gibson right from the start, it immediately made me think of Payback.

Thanks for the tip, will have to check this out.

I watched another Gibson movie called Blood Father recently and really enjoyed it.

I keep passing it up but will now check it out. I like most movies MG directs or plays in.

The very first thing I watched back when I got Netflix. Smile

I enjoyed it. I watched it again a few months ago.

Pretty good, made in the same style as Payback (1st person narrative).
