Leave your thoughts about Straw Dogs.
| DVDTalk.comJason BaileyTo call out any remake as specifically "unnecessary" is a dash down a rabbit hole, but the mere existence of a 2011 cover of 'Straw Dogs' is, all things considered, befuddling. |
| FilmsInReview.comVictoria AlexanderImplausible, weak characters with wonky motivations, and a skinny chick who instigates the carnage. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovTurns Peckinpah's deeply ironic attack on typical notions of masculinity into a pretty boneheaded tale of cultured city effetes vs. vicious country bumpkins. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereStraw dogs, indeed. This new 'Straw Dogs' from writer-director Rod Lurie is a second-rate remake of a memorable and controversial, if not quite great, Vietnam-era Sam Peckinpah film with Dustin Hoffman and British actress Susan George. |
| OK! MagazinePhil VillarrealRod Lurie's film equals the original and surpasses it in many ways. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertRod Lurie has made a first-rate film of psychological warfare, and yes, I thought it was better than Peckinpah's. Marsden, Bosworth and Skarsgard are all persuasive, and although James Woods has played a lot of evil men during his career, this one may be the scariest. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezStraw Dogs is an artful provocation - a meditation on masculinity and societal mores in the guise of an explosive thriller. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireAs a straightforward, sensationalistic violent thriller about ordinary people fighting for survival, Rod Lurie's Straw Dogs works better than most. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanWhile Lurie could have gone lighter on the symbolism, he ratchets up the tension with deft intelligence. He's not just making a thriller but a horror film, and we feel his own fear in every scene. |
| USA TodayScott BowlesEven by today's standards, some scenes are jaw-dropping in their bloodshed. To that end, Lurie accomplishes some of what Peckinpah evoked 40 years ago. |
