Review of Straw Dogs (1971) by Joe Holleman for St. Louis Post-Dispatch — 15 Sep 2011
More damaging is Lurie's conspicuous "red state" rant, as he makes sure that every prominent guy in this film - save for the screenwriter and the black sheriff - fits all of the Southern stereotypes.
That doesn't make it a bad movie, just one that is something less than Peckinpah's original.
