Girls Against Boys

If you are expecting a brainless slasher movie then this isn't it.

The dynamics between the two main characters are a brilliant example of Folie à deux.

It is well written and the acting is superb, but it does take a bit of understanding at a deeper level than a slasher movie. It is more of a psychological tease of your brain, wondering just how the story will turn out.

Well worth a watch if you like something interesting where you are sucked into the story and the lives of the characters.

This is a revenge movie ... or is it? There might be more to it, than you first think. Of course it's also something that people might feel cheated about. Why try to make something more intellectual than it is? But it does put/shed new light on the rest of the movie. You can decide how to see or observe some of the scenes. One might say it warrants a second viewing too.

The acting is solid, though we do get a few clichés thrown our way. And as stated the ending might not win you over to its cause yet. There is blood and violence and some minor nudity. There is also a very obvious hint at the beginning of the movie, that actually is followed by a flashback. Is it too smart, not smart enough? It has its flaws (emotional detachment being amongst them), but you can watch it, if you like those kind of movies (doesn't matter if you're a girl or not)

It was a cheap New York Thelma & Louise. I am glad there wasn't that much blood and gore. I have to admit I didn't think how come they didn't get caught until I read Kathe M review. It is the only time I almost cried when one of the characters died.

GIRLS AGAINST BOYS is another cheap revenge picture with a battle-of-the-sexes slant. It feels very much like a cheap I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE remake and even features an actor or two who appeared in one of those films, I can't remember which. This one seems to have even less plot than usual and is merely a string of set-pieces of the main two characters going around and butchering unsuspecting blokes, some of them deserving, some of them not.

I find films like this one almost entirely devoid of merit. The cheap digital look of the production is almost anti-cinematic and an example of everything I DON'T want to see in a film. The acting is generally weak and exaggerated and the violence brief and not very shocking. The subject matter is distasteful but the approach is so lame that none of it is possible to take seriously.

A woman works at a club as a bartender and she has recently broken up with a guy who has decided to remain with his wife and young daughter. A co-worker sees her crying and asks her what is the matter and is it a man.

The pair go clubbing and meet some men and they go back to the guys place. One of them heads back to the main character's apartment. She refuses his advances and she is raped. The police seem disinterested in her case and her co-worker suggests that they take the law into their own hands.

The revenge is swift and brutal as the two young ladies find the bad men and serve their own form of justice. The two leads are good and although the story a bit far fetched, I found the film to be an entertaining one.

I read other reviews after seeing the movie and the explanations with spoiler alerts were informative but the scenes described were not that clear to this viewer.
