Straw Dogs (1971)

Okay, I know this isn't horror, but is this any good?

I'm interested in it for numerous reasons, the two main being that Dustin Hoffman is my favorite modern day actor and that I hear it's very powerful and very disturbing.

Any good? Some reviews, please?

one sympathetic character, fairly slow buildup, decent climax, shitty and pretentious ending

I was thinking of picking this up myself because it was in a cheap bin. Its a decent flick, not as intense/brutal as its reputation would have you believe. Probably the better of the Peckinpah films I've watched and its a goodie if you're down with revenge films.
