Another week and we have another remake out of Hollywood. This time it is Sam Peckinpah's 1971 Straw Dogs, which starred Dustin Hoffmann and Susan George. Since it is 2011, we have James Marsden playing David, a LA screenwriter and Kate Bosworth plays Amy. They go back to her red-neck home town in Mississippi.
Throw in Amy’s old boyfriend (played by True Blood’s delectable Alexander Skarsgård), tension that turns to horrific violence and a rape scene that made the 1971 movie controversial, and you get a compelling thriller that keeps you watching, and perhaps squirming in your seat too.
Rating: 3 outta 5
