Payback (1999)
Porter, a career thief and former U.S. Marine, has gunshot wounds treated by an unlicensed doctor, having been shot and betrayed for $70,000, and plans his revenge. After months of recuperating, Porter uses a series of petty thefts and short cons to acquire cash, a new suit, and a revolver. He and his partner-in-crime Val Resnick had stolen $140,000 from a local Chinese Triad, but Val manipulated Porter's wife Lynn into believing Porter was having an affair with Rosie, a call girl he used to protect. Lynn shot Porter, leaving him for dead as Val took the cash to pay off a debt to "the Outfit," a powerful organized crime syndicate.

Porter confronts Lynn, who has been consumed by guilt and become addicted to heroin. He tries to confiscate her drugs, but finds her dead from an overdose the next morning. Believing that Val was funding her habit, Porter interrogates Lynn's drug connection, who points him to Val's middle-man, Stegman. Porter finds Stegman in the company of corrupt police detectives Hicks and Leary, and Val learns from Stegman that Porter is alive. Enlisting the help of Rosie, who is now affiliated with the Outfit, Porter ambushes Val during a session with Pearl, a Triad-connected dominatrix, and demands his money.
