Feminism meets exploitation in Austin Chick’s “Girls Against Boys,” a
particularly nasty revenge feature that attempts to explore a rattled
psychological space as it indulges in murders and a few grisly acts of
vengeance. It’s not particularly consistent or profound work from the
“XX/XY” filmmaker, but the effort has a certain style that holds
interest, scored to a throbbing range of soundtrack cuts that provide an
electronic pulse to otherwise banal events. Sure to divide audiences
with its fuzzy math and swing of the intellectual wiffle ball bat,
“Girls Against Boys” is best appreciated as a sensorial experience, with
the script successfully brushing against raw nerve endings of sympathy
and rage. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
