Straightheads (2006) 6/10

Starring : Danny Dyer, Gillian Anderson, Anthony Calf, Ralph Brown
Director : Dan Reed
Running Time : 77 mins

On their way home from a party, Adam (Dyer) and Alice (Anderson) are beaten up by a gang of country folk who gouge out Adam’s eye and rape Alice. The two find it very difficult to get on with their lives, but when Alice finds out where one of the culprits lives, the two decide to exact their revenge on the gang by paying them a visit.

As far as Danny Dyer movies go, this wasn’t too bad. The actual plot does kind of sneak up on you as you’re watching, as I thought this was going to be some sort of May to December relationship movie. The drama is used pretty tamely considering the subject matter, but there are some later scenes which are a little cringe worthy, and try not to let the ending disappoint you as I felt it was too underplayed.
