I think I like the remake better, even though the original is great.

The remake is called Payback (the original in America is called Point Blank), and I think it's a close call there. I'm sure a decent case could be made that the remake is better. Though I do like John Boorman as a director and Lee Marvin as an actor quite a bit more than the combo of Brian Helgeland and Mel Gibson. Having said that, I also don't consider Point Blank to be one of Boorman's best films anyway. I'm partial to Deliverance and Excalibur I think...
