Review of Deliverance

Deliverance (1972)
9/10
Disturbing
20 June 2005
Many people in this age think of true movies as foul language, sex, and ultra violence with a few explosions thrown in. This movie proves that cinema has really changed over the last thirty years. The movie could not be made now. The story is mostly plausible albeit a little over the top in several sequences. All the performances are really superb, especially Voight as the conflicted Ed. The musical score is very catchy yet is creepy after watching the movie, sort of like The Exorcist's Tubular Bells. The cinematography is equally unnerving through its beauty and harshness. This is probably one of the most brutal movies you will ever see. This movie will haunt you for a REALLY long time.
