“Get ready to root for the bad guy.”
Payback (1999) is a sleek, vengeful tale of a man betrayed. Ex-con Porter emerges from a five-month coma to find his wife and partner have stolen his ill-gotten gains and left him for dead. Fuelled by bitterness and a relentless need for retribution, Porter sets out to reclaim his stolen fortune and exact payback on those who wronged him. This dark, brooding narrative unfolds as a dance of deception and violence, where every move Porter makes deepens the web of deceit around him.
