Review of Straw Dogs (1971) by John M — 02 Jan 2010
My first Peckinpah. This is a very gritty movie and definitely not for everybody. Don't be fooled because it was made back in 1971; Straw Dogs is easily more shocking than the majority of movies being churned out nowadays.
There is rape, gore and domestic violence. Dustin Hoffman is great, the editing is fantastic and the direction succeeds, but be forewarned: this is a very ugly movie.
