I finally saw this movie in its entirety yesterday and it is one terrifying movie - next to it "Pulp Fiction" seems like a fairy tale. The story is about outdoor fanatic Lewis Medlock which takes his friends on a river-rafting trip they'll never forget into the dangerous American back-country. They want to see the Cahulawassee River before it's turned into one huge lake

The movie stars Jon Voight as Ed Gentry, Burt Reynolds as Lewis Medlock, Ned Beatty as Bobby Trippe and Ronny Cox as Drew Ballinger.

This is a powerful and disturbing film in which the acting is first rate and the 'Dueling Banjos' remains one of the most memorable music. A bit of trivia is that to minimize costs, the production wasn't insured, the actors did their own stunts. (For instance, Jon Voight actually climbed the cliff) and to save costs and add to the realism, local residents were cast in the roles of the hill people.

If I could type out that banjo diddy, I would... but since I can't all I will say is that you need to see this and you will never be the same after.
