As this got underway, I found myself of course wondering if I hadn’t already seen it earlier in the day in the form of Outlaw. The set-up is similar, and of course, there’s Danny Dyer.

Actually, I ultimately found it quite a neat blending of something like Outlaw and, with the presence of Gillian Anderson, what I missed in Outlaw that The Brave One had to offer. I was surprised to find I liked Danny Dyer in Outlaw, and the same was true here; I love Gillian Anderson, of course; and despite the very clearcut masculine-feminine thing here (the women quite literally leave the movie for “somewhere safe” before horrible manly things happen), I found it much better than the reviews I’ve read. Clocking in at little over 70 minutes, it’s easily worth that just for Anderson’s performance, but there’s plenty more to get into too.
