Deliverance 1972

Overrated. Not scary enough to be a horror. Not crazy enough to be an exploitation yet it flirts with it for one scene. Not thrilling. Slow. The whole movie focuses on one act that we have to wait half way to see. That act is funnier than it is shocking because it's so stupid. The drama and second half journey didn't make me feel engaged because the friendships weren't real enough and the dialogue was more plot based and situation reminders rather than character based pain or relationship tests. It could be dialogue from any movie.
I think this is a movie of its time and was just something that caught on. The rape scene obviously being man on man was shocking for the time.
