John Travolta looks much older in a very mature performance regarding payback to a thief who was able to get him out of prison earlier so that he could spend time with his dying 15 year old son.

It is heartbreaking how Travolta grants his son's wish by getting his mother, a drug addict, to see him. That day they shared together was poignant as the boy guessed his mother's affliction.

There is a gem of a performance by Christopher Plummer, as Travolta's father. Parting from his usual urbane performances, Plummer is common and quite used to using profanity in each of his sentences.

How the 3 guys unite in working on the forgery and turning the tables on the guy who demanded payback was thrilling to say the least.
