Oh Southern Comfort

Last night early this morning I watched the movie Southern Comfort(1981). it was directed by Walter Hill. Starring Keith Carradine, Powers Booth and Fred Ward. the movie is set in the Louisiana swamps during the early 70's. A National Guard training exercise goes wrong when the unit borrows some canoes from some cajuns without letting them know. when one of the idiot soldiers fires blanks at the cajuns to scare them they shoot the Sgt in the head an dkill him. the movie surrounds these soldiers as they try to find their way out of the sawmp but the cajuns will have other plans for them. very good movie and the soundtrack is awesome. the film was scored by Ry Cooder who is famous both for Walter Hill movies as well as other soundtracks. he is an amazing guitar player.
