Review of Southern Comfort (1981) by Deanomite — 16 Jan 2020

I really like Keith Carradine (The Duellists is his best and my all time favorite movie but he's most famous for Dexter). Powers Boothe is always good as a guy who is disgusted by his company, an engineer around rednecks is good.

Walter Hill was peaking out here, just did The Warriors, on his way to 48 hrs. Cajun music to good effect. I did feel that wanting to finish a play mission after a real death is a big plot hole. They also were in a big hurry to replicate Vietnam too much, it was a template for Platoon also.

All in all I would have liked if the rest of the squad died earlier and left Boothe and Carradine in Cajun party longer.
