Customer Reviews

Typical Mel is ruthless to the bone.

Porter (Mel Gibson) common criminal, is just doing his thing, and rather flamboyantly. He pilfers from the mob, and his cut is $70,000. He is double-crossed by his buddy and wife as he is left for dead. Well, Porter may be a common criminal, but he does have a sense of justice and does whatever it takes to recover his $70,000. In the process, he is roughed up a few times, and the perpetrators find themselves skillfully dispatched. The questions are, will he get his money back before there is no one left to give it to him? Yep, it is a formula; yep, Mel has a tendency for overacting. We get the standard surprises. Lots of action. Be sure to check the details out on the different packaging, as there are variations on the story.
