“Deliverance” was a pretty good effort by Reynolds though the story line was pretty disturbing as was the Dickey novel it was based on which I actually had to read for a 20th Century Southern Lit class in college.. Jesus, that movie probably set back tourism in the Appalachians for a decade or two…….. I also liked him in “The Longest Yard” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” and of course the Academy threw him a bone by nominating him for an award in Boogie Nights….
