A thriller directed by John Boorman, starring Burt Reynolds.
A group of 4 men go on a canoeing trip in the country. They run into some local rednecks who anally rape one of them and threaten the other sexually. One of the friends sneaks up with a bow and kills one of the rednecks. The other gets away and the men hide the body. As soon as they resume canoeing, one of the men falls from the canoe and is killed in some rapids. Then bad things continue to happen.
The plot and characters weren't my cup of tea, but the style and production value were great. It looked '80s even though it was only '72! The only part of the plot that I liked was the banjo/guitar duel which, despite popular opinion, is called Feudin' Banjos. I'm rating this o.k. for being a great production of a story I don't like.
