	Article - Tough guy Gibson gets results
		On screen, Mel Gibson is a dangerous man. From his breakthrough as Mad Max to his franchise role as Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon series, he has made a career of portraying heroes who are not to be crossed, except by villains with long guns and short life expectancies.
		Gibson calls Porter "a professional bastard," and indeed, he is a man who kills without mercy, inflicts pain without conscience, steals from beggars and does not tip his waitress.
		Gibson need not worry, for his own behind-the-scenes efforts on Payback are ample proof that when it comes to the movie business, Gibson is quite smart enough, thank you.
