Nobody Runs Forever

When a larger bank takes over a smaller bank it's called a merger. When all the assets of the smaller bank - the cash, commercial papers, everything - are moved in the dead of night down narrow country roads, headed for the vaults of the larger bank, Parker calls it an opportunity. With two professionals and an amateur inside source on his side, the only thing that stands between Parker and the money is four armoured trucks. He has everything he needs but eyes in the back of his head...and he's going to need them too. The violent anti-hero of the classic film Point Blank, remade by Mel Gibson as Payback, has returned and he's as lean and mean as ever.
