While looking at pictures on her phone, Kira Noir plots revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend Ricky Johnson. She confides her intentions to camera while her new girlfriend is nose-deep in her nether regions, starting the ball rolling on this comedy of revenge. Part one of Noir's plot involves seducing Johnson's newly-divorced dad Lexington Steele, carefully unbuttoning her top for maximum boob exposure and reassuring the camera, "Watch and learn." The seduction goes off as planned, and when she confronts Johnson, she tells him her long-range plan—"I'm gonna be your new stepmom"—smiling through her jizz-spattered face.

Things get (more) complicated the day of the wedding, when Johnson meets Jasmine Sherni, also an ex of Noir ("She ghosted me! I thought she was a lesbian!") and Sherni decides to use Johnson to teach Noir a lesson: "Get your pants off. I'm not one for cock, but the thought of pissing her off..."

When Sherni sends Noir cell-phone pictures of the tryst, Noir responds by showing the pictures to Johnson's girlfriend Chanel Camryn and encouraging Camryn to "give him a taste of his own medicine" by fucking her ex, Zane Walker. As Walker wheels up on his motorcycle, Noir explains: "Every girl has that idiot ex-boyfriend that they never want to see again. The good thing is, that idiot ex-boyfriend is always available when you need them." Noir maneuvers Camryn and Walker into bed, sweet-talking them into performing for her cell-phone cam, dissing Johnson as Camryn sucks Walker. Noir discreetly leaves, leaving the phone so Johnson can get the full effect, including Camryn cooing into camera, "That's the hole he never, ever got, but always wanted."

Not satisfied with sabotaging Johnson's relationship with Camryn, Noir redoubles, seducing Johnson's bud Alex Mack when he arrives for the wedding. Mack tries to resist Noir's wiles ("Friends don’t fuck each other's exes") but it doesn’t last, and when Johnson confronts them, Noir taunts him but he coolly tells Mack, "Be my guest," indifferently watching them as Noir straddles Mack ... but when she tells Johnson, "This is your last chance to fuck me before I marry your daddy," he drops trou and heads for the hole he didn’t get from Camryn. And maybe Johnson has payback of his own up his sleeve.

Kira Noir dominates Payback's a Bitch, breaking the fourth wall by playing to camera and expertly straddling the line between confident-independent-woman-forging-her-own-path and psycho-bitch-from-hell-bent-on-revenge-at-any-cost. Ricky Johnson matches her note-for-note, and the supporting players play their parts in Noir's character's manufactured drama to perfection, abetted by Marvin Love's expert direction and Alex Ladd's sparkling cinematography. Recommended. Emphatically.
