Payback: Straight Up (2006) is the director's cut of a film that was initially released seven years prior, allowing director Brian Helgeland to restore his original vision after studio interference and extensive reshoots. This version brings back the gritty, '70s filmmaking style that was initially intended. The narrative revolves around Porter (Mel Gibson), a thief who is lured into a heist by his former friend, Val (Gregg Henry), who is a frequent collaborator of Brian De Palma. Val's plan involves a betrayal with Porter's wife, Lynn (Deborah Kara Unger), after he shows her a photograph of Porter with another woman (Maria Bello).
