Daniel W This film is very good not quite a Vietnam film as it's set in the swamps of the usa but it has the same vibes with the environment the guy from blade runner plays an excellent villain in the film and makes you scared of your own people showing your enemies can look like you it's defo worth a watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review matthias s "Southern Comfort" is a Louisiana swamp adventure that had me hooked from the get-go. The atmosphere is thick with tension, making you feel the oppressive bayou humidity and the lurking danger around every corner. The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat, with eerie moments that send shivers down your spine. However, the film's pacing can be a bit uneven, with moments of slow buildup that could have been trimmed down. The storyline isn't entirely unique, and I've seen similar survival tales executed more effectively. Nevertheless, the ensemble cast delivers impressive performances, adding depth to their characters and making us care about their fates. One standout aspect is the hauntingly beautiful music, which complements the setting perfectly. Despite its shortcomings, "Southern Comfort" manages to deliver a satisfying dose of suspense and atmospheric thrills, making it worth a watch for fans of the genre. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review David W Often compared to Deliverance, and rightfully so, Southern Comfort affords more respectability to the local antagonists. Overall it's an entertaining action film that adds suspense by never allowing you to fully see the person or persons chasing our story's not-so-innocent protagonists. I would watch this again. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review steeb j This is a movie that had slipped by us.. We watched Southern Comfort simply because of the alluring theme that was presented, a Guard Unit misbehaving down in Cajun-Land. - The cajun aspect was done very right and will convince any viewer that you're right there in the midst of these great folks. The downside to this movie though is the poor acting concerning these misfit guard members.. - This movie could've been made into a classic but falls well short. A classic makes one return and watch again. This one wont.. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot more dialogue and much slower paced than I was expecting. Conversely. not as cheesy or cheaply made as one might expect. The end was good enough to elevate it a notch or two because it'll haunt you and make you want to stay in your cubicle. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A fairly decent metaphor for the vietnam war and something of an exploration of a rather toxic form of masculinity. Great soundtrack by Ry Cooder. Am I reading something into the Cajun's being French speakers, in terms of the French involvement in Vietnam?
