If you loved Resurrecting the Champ, try Straw Dogs
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Rod Lurie, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Resurrecting the Champ, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Straw Dogs is
Mississippi. Summer. A crow caws. David and Amy Sumner seek peace in her childhood home. Local tensions rise as the couple faces escalating harassment, testing their relationship. Sam Peckinpah's shadow looms large over this remake.
