The film is a shallow study of the ‘intoxicating allure of violence', with a few gratuitous tit shots thrown in for good measure.

Even if Straightheads looks as if it was made for about £4, it’s been a long time since someone was brave enough to make a such a movie.

Anderson bares (almost) all in this flawed but fitfully fascinating thriller with a comical, if less compelling, turn from Danny Dyer.

The film looks professional and has a relatively big-name star in Gillian Anderson, but the screenplay - written by director Dan Reed - doesn't make a single bit of sense.

It's clear from the start this isn't a revenge drama that's going to wimp out at the end.

Straightheads has the pornographic ingredients of a first-rate cult thriller.

Make no mistake: this lo-fi rape-revenge Brit flick wants to shock you.

Payback involving a shotgun, a kitchen table and a heap of pain.

The violence may be too strong for some but this is worth seeing for a terrific performance by Gillian Anderson.

A repellent, ill-thought-through feature.

Feels like an experiment in suspense and violence that doesn't actually tell us anything

This nasty and nonsensical rape-revenge thriller is a feature-length exercise in wrongness.

Country rapists have their way with Gillian Anderson and poke Danny Dyer's eye out. The duo want payback.
