Payback is a 1999 action film starring Mel Gibson and directed by Brian Helgeland. The film shares the same source material as the 1967 noir-classic Point Blank (whose rights are currently owned by WB, the international distributor of Payback, via its ownership of the pre-1986 MGM library through Turner Entertainment), directed by John Boorman and starring Lee Marvin; both are based on the book The Hunter, written by Donald E. Westlake under the pseudonym of Richard Stark. The film was Brian Helgeland's directorial debut after a career as a screenwriter.
