Yes folks, when a hunter shoots at first sight, I did fell in love with this film the very same way, in the early eighties, when it was released in France in VHS. I rented it and made a copy just after the first viewing. A film as I love. It reminds me SOUTHERN COMFORT, DELIVERANCE, WOLF CREEK, OPEN SEASON, in summary another kind of survival, a men's tale. ONLY for men. And I also have read the novel that inspired this authentic gem. Very interesting too. With a real character study, an offbeat study which the ending makes more important; watch it and you'll understand why. A hit right into the face. A propaganda message against fire arms use and abuse, against the Second Amendement.
The film is very faithful to the book, except the novel emphasizes more on the characters. But it is a very unusual story, entertaining, even totally unbelievable. Nothing realistic here. Nothing.
But who cares?
I'll never be tired to watch it again and again.
