Payback

Payback’s a bitch!

Mel Gibson plays a small-time crook named Porter, who is double crossed by his partner-in-crime Val Resnick (Gregg Henry) and his wife (Deborah Kara Unger) after a heist of $140,000 from an Asian Mob robbery. They did not plan, on him recovering afterwards. Now, Porter is out for revenge and the sum of $70,000, his agreed payment in the robbery gone awry.

There is a nice undercurrent of black humor, which lingers during the whole film and the storyline moves along quickly with fast turns, and contains all of the essential action components: guns, bombs, babes, and dead people as Porter goes up against "The Syndicate", corrupt cops and the Asians he stole the money from with the help of the hooker with a heart of gold. As Porter rightly claimed; he didn't just have a monkey on his back, instead he had three.
