They are all pretty new to the game, and without live ammunition, but in their carelessness and cockiness, they offend some of the locals. The angry Cajuns fight back for their turf and pride, and begin a guerilla war with the soldiers, and the suspense builds in this Vietnam War-like film. [More]

Reviews for Southern Comfort
An atmospheric, tough-as-nails survival tale, and arguably Walter Hill's best movie overall. Well cast with a great Ry Cooder score. Packs a definite wallop.
Goes down relatively smooth. Pour yourself a glass or three of its namesake, and enjoy!
