42/100

Brian Webster

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.

Rich Cline

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

A repellent, ill-thought-through feature.

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

3/5

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.

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

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

Steve Rose

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

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

Anna Smith

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

Derek Elley

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

Matthew Turner

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

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