Payback (I) (2023)
5/10
Clunky crime thriller that brings nothing new to the game
4 October 2023
There's some great actors in the mix, Morvern Christie as the lead is supported by Peter Mullan - but they aren't enough to save this one. Its formulaic and handicapped by a script full of wild improbabilities, clunky dialogue and obvious exposition.

The police procedural element were often incorrect and unbelievable. The British police who struggle to arrest a shoplifter have laser insight here and move at lightning pace... The baddies were all cliches.

Production values were average, there were some strangely directed scenes and the score was weak.

For me a big miss. America does this kind of show so much better, treat yourself and watch Ozark instead.
