Review of Deliverance

Deliverance (1972)
7/10
Quite brilliant
25 March 2001
I haven't seen this movie for at least ten years. I was probably around twelve or thirteen years old when I saw it for the first time. After that I always thought of the "squeal like a pig"-scene as soon as someone mentioned Deliverance. But the film is so much more, and much better, than to have to be associated with that particular scene forever.

Deliverance is about thirty years old, but according to me it does not feel or seem dated at all. It could have been made in the middle of the 90s, as far as I'm concerned. Jon Voight is great, the other actors are good as well, but Voight is quite brilliant. The film itself is also quite brilliant: great story and script, great acting and fantastic directing. Much better than I remembered it to be.
