Critics Consensus: Given primal verve by John Boorman's unflinching direction and Burt Reynolds' star-making performance, Deliverance is a terrifying adventure.

Reviews

Chicago Daily News

David Elliott

It is not meant to be "liked," and in a sense I didn't like it at all, but that made its power and control all the more convincing, and I greatly admire the film's single-minded intensity.

It is also a finely structured allegory about America and Americans. But at least it works properly on a more basic level. It’s good to watch, and then to think about.

Anchored by some solid performances, strong direction, and a sharp aesthetic, “Deliverance” creates an atmosphere as threatening as it is beautiful and throws it’s characters right in the middle of it.

Deliverance is a classic film that nonetheless isn’t in the same league as poet James Dickey’s first (and only great) full-length fiction, a work as perfect in its way as, say, The Great Gatsby...

Not so much a cautionary tale as one of uncommon doggedness.
