Porter (Mel_Gibson) is pulled into a heist by his old friend, Val (Brian_De_Palma regular, Gregg_Henry). As they're stealing 130,000 in laundered drug money from Chinese Triads, no one is going to call the police. Everything goes smoothly until Porter's wife, Lynn (Deborah_Kara_Unger), shoots Porter in the back. After Val had shown Lynn a photo of Porter in the arms of another girl (Maria_Bello), the two planned the double-cross together to pay off Val's mob debts so he could return to "The Syndicate." They didn't plan well enough, though, because five months later Porter's back, a complete sociopath who wants his 70,000. Brian_Helgeland, the screenwriter for L.A. Confidential and Conspiracy_Theory, makes his directing debut with this adaptation of the novel -The Hunter by Donald_E._Westlake writing under the pseudonym, Richard_Stark. The same novel served as the basis for John_Boorman's Point_Blank starring Lee_Marvin. Chris Gore, Rovi
