Movie Straw Dogs is based on a novel “The Siege of Trencher’s Farm”. Rod Lurie wrote the final screenplay and directed the movie. In the centre of the story is a screenwriter from Los Angeles, David Summer. David has a slender smoking hot blonde wife Amy. After her father passed away, they decided to move deeper south to Blackwater in Mississippi. David intends to write a screenplay about Stalingrad in the house. Everything will be ruined because of secrets that Amy kept for herself. David hires the contractor Charlie and his crew to fix roof on the barn. Soon after Amy starts complaining to her husband how Charlie and his team are not respecting her and demands that he does something about that. David constantly tries to avoid conflicts and this causes him large amounts of stress. Local community takes advantage of him, they use him for fun and they don’t take him seriously at all. After setting him up to get lost in the woods, Charlie and boys rape Amy in her home. Amy didn’t tell her husband, but after some other events David will reach his breaking point. At that point he confronts the bullies and during the process he will unleash all the anger that was inside of him. James Marsden played David and he managed to deliver changes that his characters was going through. Straw Dogs is almost two hours long but doesn’t get boring at any point. Some critics say that version from 1971 had more tension. Still Straw Dogs deliver excitement and make the audience cheer for main character.
