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.

Exploitative and depressing.

Where's Mulder when you need him.

About how some of us would be willing to sell our souls to protect our loved ones if we had to...
09/27/07
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.
04/27/07
Country rapists have their way with Gillian Anderson and poke Danny Dyer's eye out. The duo want payback.
04/27/07
Anderson bares (almost) all in this flawed but fitfully fascinating thriller with a comical, if less compelling, turn from Danny Dyer.
04/27/07
This nasty and nonsensical rape-revenge thriller is a feature-length exercise in wrongness.
04/27/07
Masculinity in Crisis, part 364.
04/27/07
A repellent, ill-thought-through feature.
04/30/07
...a low-key drama disguised as a revenge thriller...
10/14/07
Feels like an experiment in suspense and violence that doesn't actually tell us anything
05/05/07
Payback involving a shotgun, a kitchen table and a heap of pain.
04/27/07
The film is a shallow study of the ‘intoxicating allure of violence', with a few gratuitous tit shots thrown in for good measure.
04/24/07
Straightheads has the pornographic ingredients of a first-rate cult thriller.
04/27/07
Make no mistake: this lo-fi rape-revenge Brit flick wants to shock you.
04/27/07
It's clear from the start this isn't a revenge drama that's going to wimp out at the end.
04/27/07
The violence may be too strong for some but this is worth seeing for a terrific performance by Gillian Anderson.
