Synopsis:
After a series of bad experiences with men, Shae (Danielle Panabaker) teams up with her co-worker Lu (Nicole LaLiberte) who has a simple, deadly way of dealing with the opposite sex.
We like it because:
There’s much more to Girls Against Boys than the usual revenge story. Not only does it have the smarts to pull apart the genre to create something entirely new and subversive – treading the line between Natural Born Killers and Kill Bill – it also has slick production values making for a glossy, high quality thriller without losing any of the grit.
Then there’s a fantastic cast of up-and-coming talent, particularly Danielle Panabaker and Nicole LaLiberte who handle the edgy material brilliantly and both prove they’re ones to watch.
Director Austin Chick knows exactly how to amp up the tension and deliver gut-wrenching violence – creating one of the most challenging thrillers in recent years!
