I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick, it seemed rather obscure to me but the TV magazine gave it a great review so I thought I might as well give it a try. Apparently, it was a big plop when it was released but it eventually managed to become a cult-classic. Well, eventually, even though it turned out to be a decent watch, I seriously failed to see what was so amazing about the da... read more

"Format: Blu-Ray Viewing: 2nd (or 3rd) Thoughts: So Co (as I like to call it) is an often overlooked Walter Hill film that has more in common with his previous Warriors film than Deliverance, which it is often compared to. It's just a great concept, taking a group of National Guardsmen and putting them on a training mission deep in bayou country. But the training mission turns into a deadly conflict with some local cajuns. And the kicker is they don't have live ammo, only blanks (but actually som"

"Surprisingly really creepy. It starts out as more of a thriller, but slowly turns into a horror film. The cast and setting is fantastic, but the score gotta be one of my favorite parts of the film."

Well, eventually, even though it turned out to be a decent watch, I seriously failed to see what was so amazing about the damned thing though. I mean, sure, it was rather well made and the cast, filled with B actors, was decent but, at the end of the day, I just didn’t care much for this story, I’m afraid. Basically, the whole thing was pretty much ‘Deliverance’ with some soldiers this time and since I wasn’t really blown away by ‘Deliverance’ in the first place, it is hardly surprising that this movie di” read more
