<p><i><font size="6" color="#FF0000"><b>P</b></font>ayback</i> is as brutal and blunt as a sledgehammer to the head, but it's also, strangely, a lot of fun. On the surface, it looks like another <i>Pulp Fiction</i> wanna-be. Filmed in masculine greys, blues, and blacks (the same colors, not coincidentally, as a revolver), it introduces us to a host of seamy characters who only care about themselves, but <i>Payback</i> is definitely sleeker and more compact than <i>Pulp Fiction</i>. It focuses on just one story--with such devotion that the movie clocks in at only about 90 minutes.
