Duchess is worth watching for its revenge-driven plot led by a woman in a traditionally male-dominated world. The film delivers physical action, stylized violence, fourth-wall breaks, and a mix of gritty and glamorous locations—all anchored by a lead who’s in charge both on screen and behind the scenes. Charlotte Kirk shines as actress, writer, and producer, while Neil Marshall (The Descent, The Reckoning) directs with striking visuals and a strong sense of pace. For fans of mafia thrillers with a bold creative voice and powerful female characters, this is a solid pick.
