STRAW DOGS REMAKE.
Ok, first things first. The film Looks great, its very well shot and looks fantastic on blu-ray. The actings pretty good as well. Centering the film on a small southern town where the two major pastimes are religion and football, then having the violent protagonists as ex footballers and their drunken coach, with the sherriff an iraq war veteran at least gives the film a little depth and dynamic and makes a few interesting observations about modern america.
The major problem is that anyone whose seen the peckinpah origional will probably sit there and think whats the point, as its definately inferior to that version. Its not a terrible film just rather pointless.
