Product Description:
Gillian Anderson stars in this dark thriller about a couple that embarks on a violent spree after surviving a gang attack. Driving back from a posh party at a country estate, Alice (Anderson) and Adam (Danny Dyer) find themselves brutally assaulted by a group of hunters. Physically and emotionally devastated by the attack, the tables suddenly turn when they discover the identity of their attackers. This time, it’s their turn to exact the ultimate revenge.
Amazon.com:
The X-Files' Gillian Anderson gives an impressive performance as a woman obsessed by revenge in this sleek and chilly English thriller by documentary filmmaker Dan Reed. Anderson is top-billed as a Brit businesswoman who invites the rough-hewn tech (Danny Dyer) who's installing her security system to a business party in the country. Slow-boiling sexual tension between the two to an erotic encounter in the woods – which is soon undercut by a savage attack by a group of local hunters, who rape Anderson and beat Dyer senseless. As they recover, viewers soon learn that the pair's trauma runs deeper than just the physical level – Dyer is emotionally shattered, and Anderson is gripped by a need to repay her attackers with violence more terrible than what they visited upon her. Though the plot occasionally veers into implausible territory, the couple's search for the guilty party – and the gruesome fate they have in store for them – is unnerving, and made all the more so by Anderson intense turn, which presents a torrent of conflicting emotions raging just below her cool, porcelain surface. - Paul Gaita

Rating:  - So much potential, and it all goes haywire.
Straightheads (Dan Reed, 2007)
Despite something of a weak beginning, I have to say that for the first hour, Straightheads (released in the US as Closure) struck me as the kind of movie I'm always looking for, an overlooked, underrated gem that people didn't get simply because most people who go to movies seem to almost pathologically avoid overthinking them. It had everything a smart, low-key psychological thriller needs. Then it all went to pot in the space of two or three minutes; ... Read More
Rating: - Harsh revenge story
This movie runs pretty close to violent classics like, I Spit On Your Grave. While Gillian Anderson plays her role well, as a tough-minded, good-looking business woman, the story is too graphic for my taste. The basic premise is that Anderson is a successful business woman who picks up a younger man and takes him to a party. Some of the scenes really seemed unnecessary, like a guy in a wheel chair, at the party coming on to her, her having sex on the lawn with her boyfriend and her boyfriend cranking ... Read More
Rating:  - Only good thing is Gillian
This movie was a total disappointment. I rented it because I am a Gillian Anderson fan and usually whatever she is in her acting makes it incredible but in this even her talent could not carry it. The script was horribly written and the leading man made you want to shot him. The script was very choppy and seemed forced into trying to carry a plot line. God willing X Files 2 will be worthy of her talent. If your curiosity still gnaws at you please rent it first before you waste your money purchasing it.
Rating:  - Gripping, disturbing and thought-provoking
Gillian Anderson is becoming more beautiful and interesting as she gets older. The round-faced freshess of her X-Files days is gone, replaced by a sleek steeliness. And in this film she's 180-degrees different from her X-Files character, and for us that's a very good thing, because we see a performance that's tough--aggressive, even--unnerving (and that's even before she and her date are viciously attacked), and yet still vulnerable. Much is communicated through facial expressions and body language, not ... Read More
Rating:  - A One view movie
This was a good movie with excellent acting, but the topic was one that is very disturbing and difficult to view once, let alone more than that.
