Reviews for Straw Dogs
1 - 5 (sorted by date)
Top CriticThe most offensive thing about the movie is its hypocrisy; it is totally committed to the pornography of violence, but lays on the moral outrage with a shovel.
10/23/04
Top CriticUpon first viewing, it seems like a straightforward film, but the more one watches it, the more tension one sees in the relationship between the couple.
08/05/03
Top CriticMr. Peckinpah has made some good films (Ride the High Country) and a couple of great films (The Wild Bunch, The Ballad of Cable Hogue) -- which may be why Straw Dogs is a special disappointment.
05/20/03
Top CriticEyes Wide Shut -- and the cooked-up debates surrounding it -- are only about sex in the head. Peckinpah gives you sex as a kick in the groin, a jolt to the brain and a shot to the heart.
