Neil Marshall has made so many movies of babes manning up and killing their way to righteousness. We all remember "The Descent," "Doomsday," or "Dog Soldiers." Those featured a femme-werewolf, Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) as a commando, and babes fighting monsters underground. Today's feature is his newest film, "Duchess," from 2024. In this one a really sizzling blonde resorts to bloody revenge when her man is brutally murdered and she is left for dead. Like Joe Biden may find out, when you set out to murder someone...be sure to murder them.
Small time hustler Scarlett (Charlotte Kirk), plies her pickpocketing trade on club dancefloors. Clad in an alluring white evening gown she catches the attention of the suave diamond gangster Robert (Philip Winchester). After Scarlett's current BF beats the crap out of her, Robert moves in and now the two are quite the couple. Their love affair will be torrid and we will see Scarlett in evening gowns, kinky lingerie, bikinis, leather, or nothing at all. Robert shows her his business and the duo go to the Canary Islands where he has his oceanside mansion. Robert's trusted men are Danny (Sean Pertwee) and Baraka (Hoji Fortuna). All is well. Uh oh...Robert has a lot of friends in his organization...you know what that means. Betrayal hits hard and both Scarlett and Robert are brought out into the desert and murdered...although Scarlett doesn't die. She's back.
Scarlett is irate at the murder of her lover. She gathers in a lot of diamonds and meets with Charlie (Stephanie Beacham), the #1 diamond broker in the world. If Scarlet can murder everyone of the peeps who were in on the betrayal, dozens of them, Charlie will do business with her. Now Scarlett, Danny, and Baraka begin murdering thugs in the Canary Islands. Machineguns, knives, power tools, fire, shot guns, etc. Sometimes, Scarlett will be clad in kinky lingerie as she pumps the shotgun. Dozens will die as Scarlett feeds her way to Robert's former assistant, Tom (Colin Egglesfield). Tom ain't no idiot and he also has surprises in store for Scarlett and her buddies.
Does Scarlett have a prayer at inflicting revenge on half the population of the Canary Islands? Will she be reduced to a bikini or lingerie in her final battle for justice? Are there any catfights in store for the sultry blonde Scarlett? This is an erotic one with a lot of steamy moments...and kills. The blood will splatter all over the place as our femme fatale displays a homicidal attitude. See "Duchess," and learn to drool over dangerous women.
