Payback

Payback

1999

With friends like these, who needs enemies? That's the question bad guy Porter (Mel Gibson) is left asking after his wife (Deborah Kara Unger) and partner (Gregg Henry) steal his heist money and leave him for dead -- or so they think. Five months and an endless reservoir of bitterness later, Porter's partners and the crooked cops on his tail learn how bad payback can be. Director Brian Helgeland's action thriller is all about nasty retribution.
