Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Jun 15 Went mostly as expected, but captvating, nonetheless. See more Jamie C. @JamieChill Apr 26 I’m biased because I’m from a small town and totally relate to this. It’s kinda funny how the geek beats the jocks but overall- (I watch a movie every night,) & this has been the peak of my week. See more Briana I. @Anaire Apr 22 Very stupid film only men would enjoy... White promiscuous wife thinks it's ok to be disrespectful to her husband and tease her ex and redneck friends because she wants to be a childish hoe but then turns victim when you reap what you sow happens to her hmmm.... The husband was a naive sissy most of the film, who invited the devil in his home when he gave them work. The end was a good example of " Im not a killer, but don't push me" lol Overall Very stupid movie and basically an accurate portrayal of how white people think and are in real life... ALWAYS THE VICTIM, NEVER THE PROVOKERS! See more Peter M @Movieman21 Mar 18 Where the original one was slow, insipid, dragging, depressing, this is a smart, fresh, exciting well approached remake with a standout performance by Skarsgard. Kate Bosworthy adds sultry hotness. This one is never boring, and always engaging. See more Giovanni P @imgiovanni22 Jan 26 This remake of Straw Dogs is like the worst bag of junk food you'll ever eat: you won't be able to stop until it's finished and then you'll feel sick afterwards. Someone needs to find out how much Kate Bosworth was paid to do this movie because apparently that's the price at which someone is willing to sell their soul. You would think a movie in which stupid angry redneck football coach James Woods finally gets blown away would be a feel-good movie. You would be wrong. See more Dave S @RT68722908 Oct 25 On the long list of totally pointless remakes, Straw Dogs has got to be close to the top of the list. Sam Peckinpah's original, a dark journey into the heart of human nature, was filled with brooding intensity and suffocating atmosphere thanks to its perfectly constructed story, well-developed characters, a memorable score, and the harrowing final thirty minutes. Rod Lurie's useless remake misses the mark on most of its predecessor's attributes, other than the story itself. James Marsden pales in comparison to Dustin Hoffman as the nebbish protagonist. Kate Bosworth lacks Susan George's raw sexuality. The antagonists, led by a laughable James Woods, come across as country bumpkins as opposed to the ominous villagers in the original. Little of what made the original so disturbing works in the remake. If you're going to subject yourself to the horrors of Straw Dogs, stick to the original. See more Read all reviews
