Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Tony Macklin (521) for tonymacklin.net (414) on 20 Sep 2011

If Sam Peckinpah were alive today and read that director Ron Lurie had remade his Straw Dogs, he would have scowled his famous scowl…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Light (9) on 18 Sep 2011

I liked this film a lot more than the critics did…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Kg3 (2) on 18 Sep 2011

The movie was one of the best thrillers I have seen all year and one of the top six movies on the year that I have seen…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Frank Wilkins (257) for Reel Reviews (165) on 18 Sep 2011

It's a good movie, but not a better remake…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Jackie K. Cooper (1,018) for jackiekcooper.com (943) on 17 Sep 2011

This well made revenge tale has strong performances all around but James Woods steals the show…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 16 Sep 2011

Although the moral ambiguity of Straw Dogs has been softened in the remake, the message and the forceful way in which it is delivered remain the same…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 16 Sep 2011

There's no matching the sinister village faces in Peckinpah's cast or the psychological acuity of his scene-making, but Lurie shows himself…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 16 Sep 2011

What has changed, however, is the audience consuming it: back in 1971, the Peckinpah film horrified moviegoers with its bloody climax, whereas…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for CinemaDope (253) on 16 Sep 2011

nothing on its mind but cashing in on the current glut of home-invasion thrillers…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Scott Nash (692) for Three Movie Buffs (692) on 16 Sep 2011

There's an awful lot of boring dialogue and poor symbolism in the hour and a half that precedes the Home Alone meets Deliverance finale…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 16 Sep 2011

Essentially turns the film into exactly the kind of primitive masculine revenge tale that the original's detractors mistook it for…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Jim Judy (1,199) for Screen It! (1,437) on 16 Sep 2011

While it might not be a perfect film and certainly not an original one or for all audiences, it clearly works for what it's aiming to do and…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 16 Sep 2011

If Peckinpah's original was a rotten plank spiked with rusty nails, Rod Lurie's redo is something closer to a nicely carved Louisville Slugger…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Julian Roman (454) for MovieWeb (460) on 15 Sep 2011

Straw Dogs has its flaws, but is a visceral experience and definitely worth seeing…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By James Verniere (1,180) for Boston Herald (1,433) on 15 Sep 2011

Straw dogs, indeed…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Victoria Alexander (762) for FilmsInReview.com (462) on 15 Sep 2011

Implausible, weak characters with wonky motivations, and a skinny chick who instigates the carnage…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 15 Sep 2011

Prose rather than poetry, basically an impersonal work without any strong directorial imprint...the new 'Straw Dogs' is superior to most of…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By John Hazelton (142) for Screen International (2,241) on 15 Sep 2011

While it may not have the force of Sam Peckinpah's 1971 original, writer-director Rod Lurie's redo of Straw Dogs still holds up as an entertaining…

By Grae Drake (173) for Movies.com (1,002) on 15 Sep 2011

The simplistic characters were my biggest problem with the film…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 15 Sep 2011
