Dirty Weekend

A meek and mild woman called Bella moves into a flat in Brighton and finds herself being harassed by a male neighbour. Having committed a violent act against the neighbour, she is transformed into a murderous femme fatale who embarks on a mission of revenge against other mean and nasty men. Much like his earlier DEATH WISH films, director Michael Winner's film DIRTY WEEKEND focuses on the story of a person who goes on a violent mission of vengeance against those who they have been wronged by. Banned in the UK for two years, DIRTY WEEKEND is a violent and menacing film that features a strong performance from Lia Williams as Bella, who has been repeatedly threatened by a number of men and opts to dispense some violent retribution.

  Hadn't seen this since it's cinema release an age ago. Not really stood the test of time for me but a nice trip down nostalgia lane.

  Charles Bronson was never this sexy
  
  Put your brain on autopilot and enjoy the violence. Michael Winner made his name with the Death Wish Movies and his anti-hero Paul Kersey played by Bronson.read more »
