Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed!!
Review: As a fan of Hoffman's and of Peckinpah's, I was extremely disappointed with "Straw Dogs." The violence, by today's standards, is over rated and not really that bad. The film was banned for reasons unclear to me. Even the rape scene is not bad in comparison to say "Irreversible." Too much hype here. Hoffman's performance especially towards the end of the film is amazing and is this film's only redeming quality in my opinion. The build up lasts almost an hour and finally when things begin to happen, it was not worth the wait. The characters are put in a situation that seemed ridiculous to me. Beware of this film. You might not find what you had expected or were hoping for. As I did.
