Dirty Weekend....More Like Grubby Little Movie! - Dirty Weekend review by Spoons
Michael Winner wasn't known for making classy movies but with this he plumbs the depths. I should have took notice of the reviews but decided to give it a go, bad mistake. Awful story, appaling acting, badly shot, in fact it's just dreadful. Maybe I should just "Calm Down Dear, It's Only A Movie." Yes it is, but a really shockingly bad one.

Darkly Comic - Dirty Weekend review by Big Bob
I enjoyed this. The main character got me on side early on. Its lack of glitz gives it sort of a home video feel which really suits the characters who are all rather pathetic and suburban. Found myself laughing quite a lot. If you are wanting something like Death Wish or Commando or lots of female nudity, forget it, this isn't for you. There are definitely serious undertones in places, but this film I think is self aware and doesn't go up its own backside. Unusual for having a female lead who isn't some kind of superhero Kill Bill type of fantasy. In some respects ahead of its time. Nothing flashy about this film.
