About how some of us would be willing to sell our souls to protect our loved ones if we had to...
09/27/07
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.
09/04/07
Feels like an experiment in suspense and violence that doesn't actually tell us anything
05/05/07
A repellent, ill-thought-through feature.
04/30/07
Masculinity in Crisis, part 364.
04/27/07
Payback involving a shotgun, a kitchen table and a heap of pain.
04/27/07
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
Make no mistake: this lo-fi rape-revenge Brit flick wants to shock you.
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
This nasty and nonsensical rape-revenge thriller is a feature-length exercise in wrongness.

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

Top CriticWhere's Mulder when you need him.
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
Top CriticIt's clear from the start this isn't a revenge drama that's going to wimp out at the end.
04/27/07
Top CriticThe violence may be too strong for some but this is worth seeing for a terrific performance by Gillian Anderson.
04/26/07
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
Exploitative and depressing.
