Review of Straw Dogs (2011) by Alec M — 04 Dec 2011
The new "Straw Dogs" was a bit strange for me going in, because I'm such a big fan of the original. I'm annoyed that Hollywood is so completely out of ideas that they've remade yet another of my favorite films, but at the same time, when looked at for it's own merits, the 2011 "Straw Dogs" is a very satisfying film going experience.
The film contains many elements worth recommending, including some great cinematography, a well rounded cast with all-around great performances and a very haunting original soundtrack. Although the remake doesn't quite live up to the original, it is still very well made and it benefits greatly from the switch of locations from the UK to the American deep South.
This film is definitely worth your time.
