Product description
Four ordinary men in two canoes navigate a river they only know as a line on a map, taking on a wilderness they only think they understand. Deliverance, based by James Dickey on his novel, surges with the urgency of masterful storytelling, like Georgia's Chattooga River along which it was shot. Equally masterful is the portrayal of each man's change of character under stress, harrowingly enacted by award winners Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox. Director John Boorman (Excalibur, The General) sets us on the knife-edge of survival - and draws us in with the irresistible force of a raging current.

The film experience was spoilt by many sections of the film becoming blurred on the screen. The audio was fine, and the subtitles were fine, but the picture quality was very poor in many parts.

Not my kind of movie, I think the world is violent enough without this type of thin on the screens.

An absolute classic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2014Verified Purchase
Deliverance is a 1972 American thriller film produced and directed by John Boorman and starring Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ronny Cox, and Ned Beatty, with both Cox and Beatty making their feature film debuts. The film is based on a 1970 novel of the same name by American author James Dickey, who has a small role in the film as the Sheriff. The screenplay was written by Dickey and an uncredited Boorman.
Widely acclaimed as a landmark picture, the film is noted both for the memorable music scene near the beginning that sets the tone for what lies ahead - a trip into unknown and potentially dangerous territory - and for its notorious "squeal like a pig" male rape scene. In 2008, Deliverance was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
I bought Deliverance on DVD as a Christmas present for my dad who already has the film on VHS, and he was really pleased to have received the DVD at Christmas. I previously saw this film on video a few years ago, and so I watched it again very recently but on DVD this time. I really enjoyed this film the first time I saw it on video, and when watching it again but on DVD it was just as entertaining. A couple of days later I watched the 1981 film Southern Comfort which has similar premises to Deliverance, and is equally good.
Going back to Deliverance, it is a classic film that is not to be missed. Very highly recommended.

This is like John Boorman's Apocalypse Now, but maybe less powerful after ally these years
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2015Verified Purchase
I must say that Deliverance does not look like a shocking masterpiece as it must have when it was released. However it still preserves a good wild and thrilling mood, and some shocking sequences, that reveal Boorman's philosophy. That of a director who always wanted to try new ways, to work against cliché and let the wild and most socially unacceptable side of man comes up on the surface.
This film is important because it represents the final destination of all the anti-hollywood cinema, where violence and social criticism gets pushed further, up to considering man himself as a brutal animal whose fierce side not even society can sedate.
Its bitter and destructive ending touches a level of nihilism that was rarely seen so far and afterwards (maybe just Apocalypse Now overcame it).
The blu ray is pretty good

Of its time, but still a good story.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2013Verified Purchase
There is far more to this than the still remembered Dueling Banjos theme tune, but even that famous scene is still worth revisiting. As someone thrilled by white water who has visited this part of the mountains a couple of times I always feel this movie captured something similar to D-Fens in Falling Down, the world changes and yet we stumble on, often making things worse by refusing to back off when we really know we should. So there is still an interesting exploration of the human condition within this classic, which I remember fondly as it is one of the few stories where I read the book before I had ever heard of the movie. Whether Blu-Ray really makes a difference is probably a personal matter, but I enjoyed a cleaner copy that I mostly see on television.

Probably one of the best films of all time . . . ok, maybe not, but you will definitely be drawn into the film.
The acting is first class, and as for Burt Reynolds, wow. Believe this was a life changing film for him if you search on the internet.
Probably not one for the children, as some of the scenes are very graphic, certainly doesn't leave a lot to the imagination.
One of the best scenes for me is when they are all sat around the table at the end, a truly emotional scene.
If you haven't watched it yet, please do, you will definitely want this in your collection.

Still a classic, though crying for a remake
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2019Verified Purchase
It's a great movie for its time though a bit dated. But some of the script, acting and sequence could be better. A remake waiting to happen?
