Deliverance (1972)
Based on the novel of
the same name this film from director John Boorman stars Jon Voight,
Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox. Four friends from the city
go on a canoe trip down a river that will soon be turned into a lake
when a new dam is built.
With a number of
sequences that are not easy viewing consider yourself warned before
watching this film. The plot to this film seems fairly simplistic but
has some deeper themes such as the relationship between modern man
and nature explored through the actions of the characters. There are
some good performances from the cast and the sequences which involve
canoeing through rapids are well directed as well.
4/5
