Plots(1)
A routine training exercise in the Louisiana bayou becomes an all too real war of attrition when a unit of brash National Guardsmen unwittingly upset a group of local Canjun Hunters. Lost in unknown territory and armed with little more than blank ammo, the weekend soldiers face a terrifying battle for survival against an unforgiving enemy hidden deep in the heart of the swampland. (Second Sight)

Well, look at this unassuming redneck survival drama that beats even the overhyped Deliverance in my eyes. Not only does the film have an attractive setting of swamps and marshes, but it also has a very likeable bunch of soldiers who gradually fall like flies and you actually care about them. The unpredictability to determine the direction the film will take and the decently suspenseful finale are also plus points. Good stuff. 75%
