Easy 5 skulls. Writing, acting, cinematography, suspense - it’s all there and all done well. Keith Carradine (Spencer), Powers Boothe (Hardin), and Carlos Brown (Bowden/Coach) particularly stuck out and did a fantastic job. But really, the whole cast was on point. One of the few movies I’ve seen lately that legitimately had me at the edge of my seat. Definitely do NOT miss this one. Fantastic thriller with heavy slasher overtones.
This is one of my go-to movies. Great storyline and excellent acting .
I used to be stationed at Fort Polk where this took place. The swamps of that place are vast so the premise of this movie is actually pretty believable. I quite enjoyed it and especially recommend it if you did Joint Readiness Training at Polk!
Wicked movie. Bit long. Powers Booth is awesome. So is Fred Ward. Great story and script. Was loud and noisy, though. Ry Cooder did the soundtrack, which is probably why it was so prominent but it was annoyingly loud.
Rambo meets Deliverance, with great actors and locations, and a bizarre ending to boot.
