'Girls Against Boys' was probably added to the 2012 London Film Festival's programme to provide the guilty pleasure element: after first getting dumped by her married boyfriend and then being raped, both within the space of a few hours, a young student teams up with a waitress - who just doesn't like men - to go on a revenge killing spree (methods of murder include sawing off a man's feet, and shooting another man in the anus - ow!) Although the scene where the woman reports the rape at the police station and gets passed from pillar to post is pretty powerful in its portrayal of how the system dehumanizes victims, this film has no pretensions to deep messages - it's just a couple of hot babes in cut-off denims with big guns. It really hits the spot once, but I won't bother seeking it out again.
