  • Every Dog Has It's Day
Its almost a rare thing to find any original ideas coming out of Hollywood these days. Its even rarer to find a remake that out shines it's source material. This new retelling of Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs is one of those rare finds. Though a lot has change in the forty years since Dustin Hoffman first picked up a gun and grew into a man, the story is as timeless as the Bible and the end result, though very bloody, is far less pessimistic than the 1970s' version. The story remains faithful with a few changes here and there. David Sumner (James Marsden; X-Men, Bachelorette) and his new wife Amy (Kate Bosworth; Blue Crush, Superman Returns) have come back to Amy's hometown to fix up her late father's home. Almost immediately, the town isn't exactly rolling out the red carpet for her Hollywood writer husband. In fact, they're downright rude (In one scene, David pulls out his credit card to pay for dinner and the waitress says "Cash only; its what us common folk use.". Sorry, b*tch but I'm as common as they come and I rarely, if ever carry cash.). But in strolls Charlie (Alexander Skarsgard; "True Blood", Battleship), Amy's ex boyfriend and the town's one time football legend. He seems friendly enough but his calm and cool demeanor masks an ugly side that few people outside his band of redneck friends know about. I'm a big fan of Peckinpah's original vision (I own the now OOP Criterion release bought from Amazon as well) but the man's pessimistic attitude to our kind as well as his mean streak towards women bleeds through and the movie suffered because of it. And the biggest and best change in the update is with the Amy character. While Susan George is a beautiful woman, she made Amy out to be like the Paris Hilton of her day. She was also a completely unsympathetic character so when Charlie and his friend rapes her, you pretty much felt she got what was coming. Kate, on the other hand, gives Amy a warmth and compassionate side so that when the rape occurs (though less graphic), the abuse she suffers makes it all more realistic that we're almost prompted to shut the movie off. Plus, she is very much in love with her husband despite his flaws and it shows where, in the original, I was scratching my head trying to figure out how this nerdy mathematician was lucky enough to land such a bombshell of a wife. I think the theaters are over flooded with remakes today so it's not surprising to know that this remake bombed out during its theatrical run. But if you're willing to give it a shot, you will not be disappointed. Just be warned that though the film isn't as bleak as its predecessor, its still very violent and not for the faint of heart. Also stars James Woods and Dominic Purcell (Primeval, "Prison Break") ... show more

  • Pretty well done movie, the plot is slightly predictable.
The movie was well directed and the actors were good, some almost too good. The plot was how a young married couple moved from Southern California back to her small town of origin in Mississippi. Their mission was to settle her parents estate, but they began to have trouble with the locals shortly after arriving. I'm from a smaller city in the South and can recognize the type of "good ol' boys" that the couple had trouble with. Some of the these good ol' boys were portrayed excellently by their actors, so well that I would wonder what other roles they take on in Hollywood. A couple of things wrong with the film. (1.) Amy, played by Kate Bosworth, had no hint of an accent that all of her old friends in Mississippi had. (2) The film portrayed a small town full of devout, church going people, but these people seemed to be very oblivious of public drunkenness and violent misbehavior at public places such as church picnics and football games. While there may be a few flasks of whisky in the pockets of some people at these sorts of events, there are plenty of cops in these small towns to make sure that those people don't get too far out of hand. I thought that the movie was reasonable entertainment and I don't regret watching it. ... show more

  • A slow burn with a great last reel.
Okay, this film starts out kind of slow, and plods along nicely, giving you a sense of the environment into which we are being introduced. Context matters here. A lot. And as the story begins to unfold, you see there is a back story that is not fully fleshed out, but which is clearly evident by how it is presented. The local boy thinks there is unfinished business between he and the girl, for whom the years apart have become a twisted idea of love in his mind. Very. The film continues to flesh out the local "flavour" as it moves forward. We are given the elements which will unfold in the last reel pretty early on. And this is part of the beauty of this film. If you pay attention, you can immediately see where it is headed. And, like a train wreck, you just cannot look away...but this is a good thing. The acting is very good. Even the minor characters are given enough to make them a little bit more than one dimensional, even two dimensional in their makeup. The dialogue is very good, but for the foul language. The content of this film is not for the young, not really. While foul language usually means we take at least one star off our rating, the compelling nature of this story, the very tight direction, even though the film does not pick up the pace that most want in the second reel, it is a deliberate decision to keep the pace reigned in. You will understand this once you've seen this to the end. So, just let it unfold and you won't be disappointed. ... show more
