Synopsis:
The pay off is excitement when Mel Gibson portrays hard-boiled Porter in `Payback`, a fast, frequently funny and ecstatically twisted blend of action and noir atmosphere co-written and directed by Brian Helgeland, Academy Award™ winner for `LA Confidential`.

Porter makes his living outside the law. So when his partners in a heist rip off his $70,000 share and leave him for dead, there`s only one way for Porter to settle things: his way. And that sends him on a vendetta that will have a lot of lowlifes gaping at the talking end of Porter`s fat revolver.

Crooked cops. Street gangs. Spineless flyspecks. Crime bosses. Anyone and everyone standing between Porter and his 70 grand are going to know he`s back... with a vengeance.
