DIRTY SHIELD is a cheap and gritty indie thriller shot on the mean streets of New York. The story is about a detective whose wife is raped by a pack of thugs, leading him on a spiral of revenge, but if you're looking for action then you've come to the wrong place. There's barely any kind of incident, just a bunch of non-actors wandering from one scene to the next, as well as the usual interlude in a strip joint. Overall, it's a tame little thing, too inept to enjoy.
