Deliverance

Deliverance is one of those movies that makes you think twice before taking your next camping trip. What starts out as good old fashioned fun amongst friends, turns into a nightmare. Strong performances(3 Golden Globe Nominations) from all involved adds an element of realism to a script that already holds it's own weight. The fluid direction from legendary John Boorman moves the story along at a manageable pace, adding suspense at the perfect moments. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, or trembling in fear as the four friends battle their morals as they desperately fight for their lives. It is considered a classic by many and for very good reason. It is real, dark, dramatic, suspenseful, all interwoven into a story about friendship and their fight for survival in the wilderness. If you are looking for a must see movie before you die, this will definitely deliver. 8.5/10

Really strong performance from Voight and the atmosphere is fascinating, thanks to Zsigmond Vilmos's masterwork.
