One of my all time greats. Burt Reynolds and John Voight star in this great 70's film. 4 guys canoeing through redneck country just so they can say they've completted a stretch of river . Great acting , great scenery and great action scenes . If you haven't seen it then get it for gawd sake . !

The term classic movie is dished around too often these days.But this film is without a doubt movie classic!
What starts of as weekend with the boys, turns quickly into a weekend of survival. The cast are perfect and the direction is faultless. The film may not shock as much as it did in 1972, but the now notoriouse "squeal like a pig" scene is still very uncomfortable viewing. This is the version to buy of the film, as the special features are good, including a look back at the making of this classic, and also the extent bo Burt Renolds face lifts and fake tan!
The film may have been copied many times, ranging from Walter Hill's Southern Comfort to the more resent shlock horror of the Wrong Turn movies, but none of it's immitators are as good as this .
This is one of the greatest films of the 70's and can stand with The Exorcist and Jaws as a testiment to that.
Faultless!

This is a good clasic movie with a great star cast put together. Deliverence shows how good 70's movies are unlike some rubbish that gets produced these days. It will certainly keep you intrigued as it did me when I first watched it with my mum, and to this day I still watch it and enjoy it. The story line is good, understandable and easy to follow which I think is good in any film because you don't have to play the film again to get the jist. Instead you'll end up playing this movie again simply because it was enjoyable the first time. And this film goes to show why you should keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer. But don't just take my word for it buy this great film and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed, not even by the price which is also great.
