5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Film Oct 7 2010
By nobody TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Excellent film. Great acting. Unfortunately the quality of the image is uneven. Very substandard during a few night scenes though I suspect that it is the source and not the Bluray transfer, so nothing can be done about this. If you like the film, this is the best version available. Perfectly acceptable.

By Mr Vess

Living in Europe, I decided to buy this US edition of one of my two favorite films ever (the second one being "Manhunter"), because I was thrilled to see all the extra features present in it (which are absent in the European DVD). When the package arrived, I took the disc out, thinking I would see the perfect edition of "Deliverance"... but I didn't. All the extras are there, and they're wonderful, the picture and sound quality are excellent. So what's wrong? What spoils the pleasure? Apparently, a single decision of some halfwit Warner executive with two-digit IQ. This person, whoever s/he was, decided to cut and distort this thrilling movie, bastardizing it from the original widescreen format (which all DVDs should be in) to an awful, unbearable to watch Pan-Scan, with about 15% of the picture lost! Yes, the movie was damaged and squeezed - assaulted and raped, if you will - because some brain damaged person responsible for issuing the DVD thought someone would prefer the censored Pan-Scan version to the original, full, widescreen one. The box tries to use some tangled semantics in order to cheat the buyer into believing that there is a possibility to switch between the damaged Pan-Scan version and the real widescreen one - which, of course, is not true at all. Only the distorted, cut version is present on the DVD...

I am not saying that this disc is not worth buying - far from that, I'm extremely satisfied with all the extras and featurettes (the European version only has a bare menu and the movie itself). Nevertheless, I still feel cheated since I was naturally assuming I would be getting a widescreen version (after all, it's a DVD release). This is why I'm only giving this release three stars (of course, the movie itself deserves the full five stars and much more). I suppose I will still have to buy the European version (which is in widescreen) and when I choose to watch the extras, I will play the American disc, but when I feel like watching the movie itself - I will take the European release.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic May 3 2013
By Walgor
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a groundbreaking movie when it came out. Forty years later, the drama and tension are still as real. I could watch the canoe scenes over and over. These were novice canoeists actually running rapids so the footage is not faked or done by stuntmen. The commentary by the actors and director adds further insight into this classic.
