Gillian Anderson sharing top billing with Danny Dyer - something must be wrong here. But it's worse than that. This nasty and nonsensical rape-revenge thriller is a feature-length exercise in wrongness, unless you're part of that slim minority who've always wanted to see Anderson urinating or Dyer masturbating.

The odd couple kick into payback mode after being brutally attacked by yokels on a country lane. It's trying for Peckinpah's Straw Dogs but any credibility that it builds up collapses like a house of cards with the comically sadistic climax, which involves the rectal insertion of a shotgun. Wrong!
