 | | Based on James Dickey's novel, Deliverance roots itself assuredly in fascinating and provocative dualities: liberal modernity and backwoods barbarism; beauty and violence; kindness and cuelty; morality and pragmatism and, atmospherically, the existential and the visceral - situating it a distinct cut above the average Hollywood action adventure output. |
 | | Adapted from the magnificent novel by James Dickey, "Deliverance" employs the river and the surrounding forest as brutal devices to gradually strip its pampered characters of all traces of civilization so that they, and we, can learn what lies beneath their cultural facades. |
 | | `Deliverance' when it comes down to it is ultimately about the animal instinct of survival and the inherent ability to make bad decisions in the brink of pure panic. |
