Unlike Dustin Hoffman’s more cerebral and twitchy portrayal, Marsden plays David as a man desperately trying to maintain his "civilized" composure while being emasculated at every turn.
At its core, Straw Dogs is an examination of and the thin veneer of civilization. The 2011 version leans heavily into the cultural divide between the "liberal elite" and the "working class."
The final thirty minutes are a masterclass in tension and practical effects.
The buildup of dread is handled with a more contemporary editorial style.
