In this thriller, arguably Sam Peckinpah's most controversial film, David (Dustin Hoffman), a young American mathematician, moves with his English wife, Amy (Susan George), to the village where she grew up. Their sense of safety unravels as the local men David has hired to repair their house prove more interested in leering at Amy and intimidating David, beginning an agonizing initiation into the iron laws of violent masculinity that govern Peckinpah's world. Working outside the U.S. for the first time, the filmmaker airlifts the ruthlessness of the western frontier into Cornwall in Straw Dogs, pushing his characters to their breaking points as the men brutalize Amy and David discovers how far he'll go to protect his home culminating in a harrowing climax that lays out this cinematic mastermind's eloquent and bloody vision of humanity.

Brace yourself for the extended version of this daring and provocative drama from the director of The Wild Bunch. Starring Dustin Hoffman in a "superbly realized (Time) performance, this brilliant (Cue), disturbing film charts one man`s brutally violent journey from cowardice to courage and delivers one helluva jolt (Playboy)!"

Keine Deutsche Untertitel.

nur weils kult ist, muss mans noch lange nicht gut finden. für damalige verhältnisse kann der film schon gut gemacht sein, aber heutzutage kann ich den gleich hinter die anderen 10tausend sm-filmen einordnen. spezialeffekte sind eher urkomisch, als gut. und die deutsche synchro ist grauenhaft.
Segal ?;-)) lol
