If you like Deliverance: watch this.
If you haven't and like this: watch Deliverance.

Loved this film as a 10 year old on VHS..one of the first we rented. Stayed in my mind for a long while..even got me into Cajun music and have trips to New Orleans, Bought the UK Bluray...still only got mono 2,0 audio which is a shame, The picture is about as good as its gonna get.

If Deliverance and Platoon had a son this would be Southern Comfort.

Lesson, don't go into the woods when you're not experienced, and haven't got the right mind frame, because crazy shit happens and you might not get out alive. Good watch. It had a sense humour on how un experienced they were.. ha

Solid survival thriller. Like a low rent, but more effective version of Deliverance. Great cast. Great ending.

Ok/Good. Not brilliant. It's compared to Deliverance a lot. I prefer this to Deliverance. The characters here are more cliché but least they interact a lot more. We see some sides to them. The journey is more interesting but it ramps up near the end with ridiculous fighting and by characters gers becoming clichés of war horrors rather than the suspense of the situation, and of which means a more realistic situation. Dialogue was acceptable. Did I believe in the nightmarish journey? They're too weak as soldiers and whole situation becomes completely exaggerated in the last half. Almost a spoof as they are outclassed by some cajuns and the dialogue becomes a copy of every war film... we're gonna make it I swear!
The movie gets negativity from some people because they don't like how it portrays the soldiers. People say they're too dumb and it's insulting. For me (my logic) the soldiers in the movie came across as quite amateurish and almost like hobby soldiers. Whether that's accurate or not I wouldn't know. Probably not but I managed to enjoy the movie more believing that.
