Payback: Straight Up drops Payback’s voice-over narration. That’s good. Straight Up opens with an intertitle providing the dictionary definition of the word “principle.” That’s bad. Straight Up is ten minutes shorter than Payback. That’s good. Straight Up replaces Kris Kristofferson with a disembodied woman’s voice, reduces James Coburn’s role, and tones down William Devane’s over the top death. Bad, bad, bad.

@jprr I preferred the theatrical cut. The more "gritty" version fell flat for me. It needed a little silliness.
