The domestic tension between mismatched mates, he being the quiet type and she being the brassy, is played with considerable edge by Dustin Hoffman and Susan George. But any meaningful character interaction is bulldozed by the all-pervasive ominousness, the human meanness, the moronism, the muscle, and the machismo, not to mention the rape, the strangling, the scalding, the burning, the decapitation, and so on. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. (1971) — Duncan Shepherd
