But the trailer used the song so wonderfully, that I was glad finally to have it on CD - it did appear briefly in the film, so that's deserved. Of course, that was before the film was changed considerably, a character removed, another one added, and a new ending was tacked on. Payback had a great film teaser timed perfectly to Dean Martin's "Ain't That A Kick In The Head". But it was the score and songs that caught my ear. The movie itself was rather decent, with some nice plot twists, and enough moral ambiguity in Mel Gibson's character to make me smile. This was supposed to be the movie that returned to the low-saturation, grainy, gritty, and dirty-feeling films of the late 1970's. I had just been wondering what had happened to such dark gritty films like Dirty Harry and The French Connection when I heard about Payback.
