Payback (1999)


A professional criminal Porter is shot by his wife and best friend and is left to die and when he survives he plots revenge.

This revenge drama on Don Siegel terrain is well played and directed with lots of dark humor, but there's absolutely nobody to root for (despite the tagline).

Halliwell (no star): "Ugly, brutish thriller with drawn-out scenes of gratuitous violence."

Maltin *1/2: "Brutal story grows more ridiculous with each new plot turn."
