Viewing Notes

I love Walter Hill; he’s done some great stuff. Southern Comfort isn’t one of his great films. It is, however, still entertaining, and features some great cajun zydeco music as well as another Ry Cooder score.

Powers Boothe, Keith Carradine and Fred Ward chew through the scenery here, making for an, at times, fun watch.

This is an obvious allegory for the moral confusion of the war in Vietnam. When you take that into consideration, the actions of the characters make a lot more sense; or at least as much sense as they’re going to make.
