Payback (2017) is an interesting entry in the fantasy genre, weaving a gritty tale of revenge and power. The atmosphere is dark and moody, with Raken's escape from prison feeling almost like a shadow creeping back into a forgotten world. The pacing is deliberate, letting tension build as Raken meets Mr. X, who offers that shady steroidal serum. The warehouse setting adds to the sense of isolation and danger, making you feel like anything could go wrong at any moment. The performances are solid, particularly the dynamic between Raken and Solaria, who’s relentless in her pursuit. I’d say it stands out for its use of practical effects and a raw, unrefined approach that keeps you on edge, even if the narrative doesn’t break new ground.
