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