When the Diallo family return home from their holiday, they find the locks have been changed and the new occupants maintain they are in "their home". With no one to turn to, patriarch Paul gets closer to Mickey, a shady local man with a penchant for all things extreme and illegal. Soon the once anti-violent teacher is approaching the point of no return…

Straw Dogs rearranged and transposed. Now the invasive townies work with the hapless protagonist to take back his house. Leaves the door open to the same caveman masculinity arguments until the last act when things settle back into main dude fending off violent attackers. The push too far is a little too much - things divebomb into new French extremity home invasion territory to a degree that shatters any moral ambiguity. In that way it kinda loses he impactful ickiness of Peckinpah’s film. There’s a dusting of racial/political stuff that doesn’t add enough.
It’s a nasty piece of work but you’ve seen nastier. It’s a little muddled and derivative but entertaining enough.
