Review of Straw Dogs (2011) by Stephen E — 14 Jun 2013
I have yet to see the original "Straw Dogs," but this remake does hold up quite well, even if it is ultimately forgettable. I've always found James Marsden to be a likable actor, and even if his character seems to be the root of the most of the chaos found in "Straw Dogs," he pulls through with a great performance.
The biggest problem I can think of is that the director, Rod Lurie, practices a lot of restraint when it comes to the film's meatier bits, and that drastically affects the overall power that the film has.
But it's nevertheless good entertainment.
