Deliverance review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/10/12

One of the more popular 70's films. Lewis (Reynolds), Ed (Voight), Bobby (Beatty) and Drew (Cox), try to have fun at a river until things go wrong. The location and cinematography was impressive while performances were solid. Screenplay was provocative with lines: Lewis - "Machines are gonna fail and the system's gonna fail...then, survival. Who has the ability to survive? That's the game - survive." Old Man - "You don't know nothin'." " Night has fallen. And there's nothin' we can do about it." The entertainment aspect, dreadful pace and overall experience were the aspects of the film that were not as captivating. Some of the action felt too choreographed as well. Deliverance is a shocking dramatic film about nature, knowledge, survival and trust.
