I saw the original Straw Dogs movie with Dustin Hoffman years ago. He looked really nerdy so it was awesome to see him transform into a hero. This remake has James Marsden playing this role and since I still see him as an X-Men the nerdy thing isn't coming through. Still the trailer looks good and want to see.
I hope they go as far as the remake originally did, but I don’t know yet. I think if they used an inter-racial couple and had the bad guys be the African American locals it would be so much better, mainly because it would test what so many people’s boundaries. But it looks OK, and Marsden looks like he’s going to do an awesome job.
@Dan O. that might actually be interesting. switch things up from the remake.
The original Straw Dogs disturbed the sh*t out of me! I don't know if I can handle the remake, even though I love looking at Alexander Skarsgard.
