Straw Dogs Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooDecember 30, 2025Complex workings. Glad the bad guys got theirs. A very adult Home Alone. Creative. Wasn’t a very welcoming town. George is sexy but flawed.
- Mr.MigDecember 12, 2025Had to look up the meaning of the title: "symbolizing something used for ritual, valued briefly, then discarded without thought, representing impermanence and nature's indifference" The question then is, who treats who like a straw dog in this movie?
