Review of Payback

Payback (I) (2023)
4/10
Annoyingly inept...
12 November 2023
But I stuck it out. Challenging, as Britbox released 1 episode a week and it was hard to keep track of all the comings and goings with so little character development as to make it laughable.

Peter Mullan is always a joy, but here he is underused as the Bad Guy, making odd threats and entering the victim's home at random moments sitting down with her children grinning evilly, or trying to.

The plot has more holes than a colander and the cops are all pitifully inept and all should have been fired. They placed the victim's life in jeopardy more times than I could count.

I resist posting spoilers as there are far too many and the ending? A total bust and not worth the time invested.

Scottish scenery was beautiful so I gave it a four for that.

But hell, my time could have been far better spent than on this mess.

4/10.
