Payback

Rain-soaked streets, a battered briefcase, footsteps echoing. A double-crossed heist and a near-fatal betrayal spark a ruthless quest for revenge, with Porter squaring off against his former partners and the corrupt cops who want him silenced. Brian Helgeland makes a visceral case for brutal simplicity.
