Review – Deliverance

Suffering from testosterone deficit? You won’t be after this. Four guys from the city take a canoe trip way out in the sticks, and they soon find themselves pitted against insane hillbillies. If you’re going to watch this at all you need to watch it uncut, because the edited-for-TV print slices a lot out of the scene where two inbred backwoods psychos rape Ned Beatty. If nothing else, this clash between civilization and “man in a state of nature” should be required viewing in any class about masculinity in the movies. Mildly amusing
