Straw Dogs (2011) – Trailer 1

Straw Dogs (2011) - Trailer 1, 6.6 out of 10 based on 13 ratings

loading
Our Rating:
6.7


There are fleeting moments when the “Straw Dogs” trailer becomes gripping, but it never quite takes hold. The unconventional time-flip is a bold concept move, but founders in execution and eats up precious trailer time, making for a rushed second act that peeks too quickly. The score is tonally pitch-perfect at times, but butchered by a recurring, high-pitched screech that punctuates the trailer’s flashing transitions.

Compare this to the superior trailer for the original “Straw Dogs,” starring Dustin Hoffman.

    No, I refuse to watch any movie that glorifies the rape and sodomy of a woman.

    The original movie was instense.
    I am NOT into this either..for many reasons. The main one being –
    ASkars and his gf Bos …too over-exposed. I cannot watch now –without thinking of the pix of them covering their faces, etc and being annoyed by cameras.
    He’s loss cred to me. Msytic. Actors should be low key and try as much as possible to keep that personal life—personal.

    Nope, this movie looks mediocre to me and I’ll never pay money to see Bonesworth ruin a movie.

    Odd trailer. Skars looks mean and threatening in the face but when he speaks, the anger/hatred isn’t there in his voice. Also the ‘This was his end,’ This was his beginning’ stuff is kind of weird. I like Skars a lot, am indifferent to Bos, but HATE Bosgard and all the crap that has gone with that. I won’t see this in the theater, maybe rent through Netflix.

    When I heard that Straw Dogs is being remade, I wanted to hear that it would be handled by a director as unflinching and uncompromising as Sam Peckinpah, helmsman of the original (Chan Wook Park would have been ideal, for example). That it is Rod Lurie in charge, sometime film critic now best known for (occasionally polemical) political dramas like The Contender or TV’s Commander In Chief, leaves me both weary and a little curious. Whatever else he may or may not be, Lurie certainly isn’t a guy to pursue an easy gig with a simple knock-off cash in. This movie will suck on every level! F beyond an F! The world is ending! Have sex with your dog! It’s over.
