I posted this in the message board but it might help here for those thinking of renting the film.
I read this quote by Martin Scorsese discussing a 50's film (Underworld USA?). I think the quote sums up LEFT FOR DEAD too, "the revenge story because everything feels a little bit unreal, both heightened and elemental.
...diverges sharply from anything even resembling mainstream movie-making--he was through with politeness and any sort of decorum--he had no desire to pull any punches in order to reassure his audiences. He was moving closer to the approach to film-making exemplified by Jean-Luc Goddard in France--direct, impolite, jarring to life with a clash of juxtaposed images and sounds."
