Civilization vs. Nature rules. Or a powerful metaphor of Vietnam War a decade earlier. Most of all a film with great tension (that includes the Ry Cooder music themes) with good characterizations (especially that of Powers Booth as the Texan guy and Keith Carradine's in his last appearance in a above average film) from an "auteur" of the American Film Industry (Walter Hill in one of his best films among with "The Warriors" and "48th Hours") about the routine exercise of National Guardsmen in a swamp and the fatal battle with the local Cajuns. Nature's revenge in a strange way as in the familiar "Deliverance". Highly recommended
