Fans of Deliverance, meet Southern Comfort

[Pas]

Tagline : The bayou has its own law... and they just broke it.

Walter Hill directs, should be enough said for you to go and rent this if you've never seen it, but hell it's more than a Walter Hill flick. You got your social commentary, your action, your kickass characters à la Hill, everything.

Look I'm not an expert reviewer, anyone saw this and care to comment ?? I just finished it and I'm thrilled. That song at the end ''Parlez nous à Boire'' (''Tell us some booze'' would be a loose translation) is a classic where I come from. I'm from northern Quebec and the similarities between us and Cajuns are striking. Same music, same language, same redneck-ness.

SoNow, you're gonna like this one !

I can't compare the two because I've never seen Deliverance.  Southern Comfort is good though, and its much more naturalistic than you'd expect if you expected Walter Hill to make something really filmic because of his others movies like The Warriors or Streets of Fire.  Like those movies there's a style that enhances the mood, but unlike those movies the mood is claustrophobia, paranoia, distrust, and desperation.
