Straw Dogs: Review

One of Sam Peckinpah's finest films. This relentless study in violence and machismo is certainly shocking, but not only for its explicit gore. Peckinpah is a skilled manipulator, and even the most "civilized" viewers might be surprised to find themselves cheering on the carnage at the film's climax. Dustin Hoffman and wife Susan George hope to escape urban violence by moving to her birthplace, a small Cornish village that nevertheless has more than its share of violence-prone louts.
