A
"Boy's adventure story with adult incidents that's a near masterpiece."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"Boorman's violent and vivid parable brilliantly captures the sinister quality of the mountain country when a band of city slickers are menaced in the wilderness."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

4.5/5
"It reminds us how thin the veneer of civilization is, how little it takes to wipe that veneer away and how little protection it affords in the face of danger."  Netflix  James Rocchi

4/4
"This man-versus-nature story is also about man indulging his most uncivilized instincts, and in their various ways the four men on the canoe trip are transformed."  Slant Magazine  Jeremiah Kipp

3/4
"The times when Deliverance really comes alive are when the actors shut up and the action takes over, which fortunately happens quite often."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

"At the risk of sounding glib, Deliverance delivers the goods, in the very best sense."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

4/5
"No movie in the history of American cinema has struck fear in the hearts of men as Deliverance."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr
