Jules’ (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) life and career as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack. But after a chance encounter with his attacker, the deeply closeted Preston (George Mackay), he is presented with the opportunity to exact revenge. Unrecognisable out of his wig and make-up, Jules infiltrates Preston’s life and in doing so discovers the lines of seduction, revenge and power are blurred. (Signature Entertainment)

This film was touted as a British queer revenge thriller with rave reviews, but the result is queer drama, where there’s no revenge at all. It was all too queer for my taste, with perhaps no straight characters. That feeling you get when you want violence, murder, and thoughtful revenge and instead you get drag queens, gay porn, and gay sex scenes. Fuck this. George MacKay is good as the asshole, but that's about it. The film promised something else entirely. I guess only queers can rate it positively, otherwise I don't know what to give it plus points for, because it's not great in terms of plot either. Not for me. 3/10.
