Very best movie i ever watch

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A Major Disappointment

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Movie: Straw Dogs (UA)Rating: 4/5I haven't seen the original yet but was compelled to watch this film as the poster was very impressive, as was the trailer. Even though the reviews and IMDb rating both weren't very positive, I couldn't resist myself from watching it. And I was seriously impressed. I saw it dubbed in Hindi and the dubbing too was quite excellent.STRAW DOGS is an intense action thriller, and I mean it. The film is quite intense throughout, but the real intensity comes out in the heavily impressive action packed climax. James Marsden is enough of a reason to watch the film as his look is extremely amazing. He excels in the film throughout, and is a treat to watch in the climax where he shows an exactly different of what you'll have expected. Kate Bosworth is decent, though there's nothing much remarkable about the performance. Alexander Skarsgard as the antagonist is however very impressive. The visuals of the film are praiseworthy, and there's a tense feel throughout the film. The first half is engaging and decently written, and it's towards the beginning of the second hour that the intensity increases. Many sequences have been executed extremely well.The character development too needs to be highly appreciated as it has been projected skilfully and convincingly. The action sequences are, definitely a treat to watch and form a major highlight of the film. The theme music is quite good and memorable. The dialogues are decently written and delivered. Thr cinematography, undoubtedly is a major asset to the film. Besides, the Hindi dubbing is excellent as said before and the voice used for James fits him very well.STRAW DOGS is a well made action thriller which has plenty of intense moments, making it a worthy watch.

There are remakes and there are remakes. Granted, right now in Hollywood, you can't step on a celebrity star without tripping over a remake, but, sometimes they can work. Sometimes. If a film was made a while back that had a decent idea, but, for whatever reason, couldn't be truly realised, then why not give it a modern day makeover? Then you have the other kind of remakes.Straw Dogs is a remake of an ultra violent seventies movie about a man and woman who move into a new home in Cornwall, only to run into trouble with the locals. In the remake, the action has been moved to America, but the plot is basically the same.If you know what to expect then you're waiting for the violence to finally kick off. It does, eventually, but not before well over an hour of 'build up.' This build up shows us how the young, nice, happy couple completely ignore all warning signs that they have a town full of redneck psychos all around them until it's too late and the afford-mentioned psychos are throwing bricks through their window and trying to lynch them.The originally Straw Dogs was only famous (or rather infamous) for its violence. Since then, we've seen far worse gore and brutality on screen and remaking it (quite faithfully to be fair) seems a little pointless. There isn't enough gore to keep the 'gore-fiends' happy. It's too slow to be classed as a psychological thriller. And the characters are too stupid to know what's coming until it's too late.I think, if this was the first incarnation of Straw Dogs, it might be called a 'home invasion' film. However, the fact that there are other films out there which have already secured that particular niche genre, makes this one even less original. Funny Games, The Strangers, that British one that I watched and completely forgot its name - all of those have beaten the Straw Dogs remake to the punch, However, if you're a fan of Kate Bosworth and like the idea of watching her running around in not very many clothes for the whole film, then you might get something out of it.

I really enjoyed the original not because it came out first, but the direction quality was 10 X better! First of all it was Dustin Hoffman, enough said. That it was set in an English country side vs the rural south. The plots for both were essentially the same but there were enough twists in the remake to contrast the two films. Unfortunately those factors all play in the lesser entertainment value of the remake. The characters lacked personification and just didn't stand out well enough. Actually they were all stereotypical, all the way down to the sheriff. Although James Woods certainly is a classic actor, his role seemed underplayed given his acting ability. There were some good parts to the remake, such as the scene prior to and after the football game. I suppose if the remake was the original, then it would be a better movie. If you only saw the remake, do yourself a favor and see classic Sam P. direction.

There are some goofs in the film, but I guess it all adds to the plot and makes it an entertaining movie. Why in the earth would the wife show her top to the men. Who on earth would do that? How come six armed men get bested by a couple trapped inside a house? What the film does best is creating tension that keeps building and gets more intense as the story proceeds. There is tension in every line dialog and the actors do an excellent job of delivering them convincingly. Shouts to James Woods for portraying a character that is an absolute ass. There a holes in the plot, and it is not meant to be realistic, but to deliver a great Hollywood experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who looks for an intense movie to be thrilled and have a good time. I haven't seen the version with Dustin Hoffman, but am very interested after watching this.
