... the national guard not experienced soldiers. Their radio equipment got ruined in the water and their commander had the map and compass when he fell in so they've no way of finding their way out. To make things worse their next in charge is a rather useless man called Casper, who doesn't seem to have an discretion and wants to play everything by the book. They aim to get out of the swamp lands as quickly as they can but that's easier said than done. Some of the team seem to lose it a bit. They capture a Cajun and destr...more

Southern Comfort is not just the name of the most effeminate of whiskeys (for true men like their's burning and horrible tasting) it's also a 1981 film by Walter Hill director of The Warriors. The film follows a small squad of Louisiana National Guard on a training exercise through the Louisiana swamp lands - the bayou. It's a friendly crew of men all casual about their duty and not taking the exercise completely seriously. The cool guy of the team, Spencer (played by Keith Carradine), has arranged for some prostitutes to meet them at the end of the trail so they're all keen to get it over with. Things progress pretty normally until their ... Read the complete review

This movie was made in 1981 and like a good wine; it has aged very well. Walter Hill who also was responsible for The Long Riders, 48 Hours, The Warriors, Extreme Prejudice, Red Heat and Last Man Standing directed it. The story concerns a group of National Guards who set off on a manoeuvres exercise in the swamplands of Louisiana. They are part time soldiers and this becomes very evident not long into the movie. Keith Carradine (Spencer) and Powers Boothe (Hardin) are among this group and both put in fine performances. They are the two main characters and they come across as sane, intelligent and normal which is more than can be said for other members of the ... Read the complete review

Rating:

Southern Comfort is a film which shows you how people out in the 'sticks' of America live and stick together. The film is about the Louisiana state National Guard who are on a training exercise deep in the woods of Louisiana. The NG(National Guard) are not allowed to carry live ammo with them as it's just a training exercise and they dont expect anything to happen. This is until one soldier played by Fred Ward(Tremors) decides to shoot at some Hillbillies for a joke!. The Hillbillies natural reaction is to shoot back, but when he shoots back he takes a soldiers head with him. The film then turns into a game of cat and mouse as the NG try to ...
