Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
So many of Dickey's lumpy narrative ideas remain in his screenplay that John Boorman's screen version becomes a lot less interesting than it has any right to be.
– Vincent Canby,

rotten:
A fantasy about violence, not a realistic consideration of it.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
It's a haunting, nightmarish vision.

rotten:
It's the stuff of which slapdash oaters and crime programmers are made but the obvious ambitions of Deliverance are supposed to be on a higher plane.

fresh:
John Boorman's 1972 film of the James Dickey novel has a beautiful visual style that balances the film's machismo message.
