"Straw dogs: David is a quiet American mathematician who has moved with his wife back to her hometown in rural England. The couple relocated in an attempt to flee the chaotic violence of the U.S., but there was to be no escape. When David hires a crew of locals to repair his barn, the men begin to harass the couple-- but passive David does nothing to stop them. The harassment continues and intensifies, yet David ignores it. Finally, the men push him too far. The result is a once-complacent, mild-mannered man lashing out in an animalistic struggle to preserve his home and life."
"Dustin Hoffman plays a young mathematician who has bounght a house on the coast of England in the small town where his wife was born. His teasing wife attracts some primitive village men, and after she is raped, her passive husband is forced to take a violent stand. Excellent drama, but not for the squeamish."@en

"Released in 1971, Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs" caused outrage and controversy among critics of the time. With his uncompromising style, Peckinpah had unleashed an intensely powerful and menacing portrayal of violence onto the big screen, the fallout of which has lasted over 30 years. Banned from home viewing under the 1984 Video Recordings Act, only now can his disturbing masterpiece be seen in its 'uncut' form. Finally, the most notorious movie in British film history is available to the public and it's time for the public to make its own mind up. David Summer (Dustin Hoffman) is a quiet American mathematician who has moved with his wife Amy (Susan George) back to a remote Cornish Farmhouse near the village where she grew up. The couple has relocated to rural England in an attempt to flee the violence of America but their placid life is brutally interrupted when the savagery and violence they sought to escape engulf's them and threatens to destroy their lives."

"David Sumner, an American mathematician, moves to the countryside of England with the intention of focusing on a series of math problems and his new wife. He quickly realizes that the violence he thought he had left behind in America is alive and well in the British countryside. Dustin Hoffman plays a quiet academic who survives by using his wits, a bucket of boiling water and a giant bear trap, against a father and his violent sons who lay siege to his home. When they were first released in 1971, Clockwork Orange (Kubrick) and Straw Dogs shocked American audiences with their raw depiction of cinematic violence disconnected from any moral narrative. Audiences who grew up with the films of the Hayes code were suddenly forced to consider violence as a narrative unto itself, without heroism, with only perpetrators and victims. When he made Straw Dogs, Sam Peckinpah was already famous for his controversial Westerns, (The Wild Bunch, Major Dundee), films that examined the violent and racist underpinnings of America's expansion into the West."@en
"David Summers, a brilliant American mathematician, and his wife Amy, take refuge in the English village in which she grew up to escape the social upheaval taking place in the late 1960s United States. They find the countryside anything but peaceful as he becomes a target for barbaric locals who assault his masculinity. The marriage frays under the pressure of violence and the situation comes to a head when David finds the opportunity for vengeance when he offers shelter to a man unjustly accused of murder--an act which sets off the final fuse for a deadly confrontation with all that threatens him, his wife, and his home."
"Meek mathematician David Sumner has taken up residence in a small Cornish town where his young wife Amy was raised. He becomes the butt of jokes for the local toughs. Amy encourages the attentions of the local louts who have come to work on their roof, precipitating a series of harrowing events - of which a brutal rape is only the beginning. Amidst it all, David discovers his own sense of primitive outrage and his acumen for violence."

"David ve karısı Amy, şehirdeki karmaşadan ve artan toplumsal şiddet olaylarından kaçarak Amy'nin doğup büyüdüğü kasabaya yerleşmeye karar verirler. Fakat kaçtıkları şiddet, hiç beklemedikleri bir şekilde onları bu küçük İngiliz kasabasında bulacaktır. Yeni taşındıkları eve bir garaj yaptırabilmek için tuttukları dört işçi, Amy'nin yıllar evvel erkek arkadaşı olan Charlie tarafından yönetilmektedir. Ama çok geçmeden bu grup, genç çiftin başına bela olur. David'le sürekli dalga geçerek Amy'ye de sarkıntılık ederler. David, son derece sakin bir tavırla olaylarla başa çıkmaya hatta kendini onların arasına kabul ettirmeye çalışsa bile korkunç olayların önüne geçmeyi başaramaz. Son derece sakin yaradılışlı bir insanın bile nasıl çığrından çıkarılabilceğini göstermesi açısından da çok çarpıcı bir film olan Köpekler, gösterildiği 1971 yılında içerdiği şiddet sahneleri nedeni ile oldukça ses getirmişti. Sam Peckinpah'in en çarpıcı filmlerinden biri sayılan Köpekler'de, Dustin Hoffman da oyunculuğu ile kendinden söz ettiriyor."
