Additional InformationDirector John Boorman's adaptation of James Dickey's best-selling novel stars Burt Reynolds as the hypermasculine Lewis Medlock. Obsessed with Hemingway-vintage notions about achieving true masculinity by challenging nature, Lewis cajoles three of his friends, Bobby Trippe (Ned Beatty), Drew Ballinger (Ronny Cox), and Ed Gentry (Jon Voight), into joining him on a white-water canoe trip down an uncharted river in the Appalachians, although only Ed has had any similar experience. The locals that Lewis hires to drive their cars downstream warn him about the difficulty of the journey, but this only makes him more eager to start. The first day goes smoothly as the men learn how to shoot the rapids, and all are exhilarated. On the second day, Ed and Bobby become separated from the other two and reach the landing point ahead of them. Two hillbillies suddenly appear from the forest and decide to hold the two men at gunpoint as the trip begins its tragic downward spiral. Reynolds has one of the best roles of his career in this compelling meditation on the costs of masculine ritual; the film boasts a superb cast as well as the subtle camerawork of the great Vilmos Zsigmond.

  • A classic. See it if you haven't already - it more than stands up to the test of time.

    A holiday turned nightmare in which morality is turned on its head, Deliverance forces its protagonists through a moral meat-grinder. Those who seem threatening become vindicated by their own simplicity. Those, on the other hand, who initially view their social perspective as being more complex, and themselves as savvier, disintegrate from being middle-class suburbanites into lying savages. The whole movie is a chilling reminder of what lurks only skin deep in many who would consider themselves socially superior. The acting is epoch-making in its unapologetic exploration of the innate vulnerabilities of the archetypal tough-guy. This is a deeply unsettling, compelling piece of cinema which stands the test of time admirably.

  • Some violence but story line unusual and gritty.

    The film is an exciting and excellent film. Well acted and photographed. The music at the beginning of the film played by two actors on banjos is stunning.

  • Unusual and engaging film.

    It's an excellent film and doesn't seem at all dated notwithstanding that it goes back to 1972. Unusual and original plot and very well acted.

  • entertaining

    I thought the film was quite entertaining but I had obviously got the wrong idea about it being great and the wrong idea of the film---thought it included something else.But ok to engage and to watch for a while. As I said ,I think I had the wrong film.
