Review of Southern Comfort (1981) by Tasos L — 26 Jan 2016

If not Walter's best, then certainly one of, and curiously not that well known/appreciated. Southern Comfort works on many levels; as a parable of American attitudes toward war in general, (with allusions to both the Vietnam and Civil War along the way), and as an exploration of the social, cultural and political crucible that threatens to boil over when you're least prepared.

However you look at it there's much to be had in this very well crafted, insightful and provocative thriller about the latent paranoia and mistrust that seems to pervade American societies. The ending is an absolute classic.
