Movie Reviews of White Lightning
Movie Review: Prison, shine, sweat, and cars. God bless our 70's redneck brethren.
Summary: 5 Stars
Burt Reynolds at the top of his stud game, the hot, sweaty South, rednecks, shine, sexy 70's chicks, and powerful cars. I hardly know what to add.
As always, the 70's movies reel me in. This one's no exception. I suppose because I was a kid then, I love remeniscing. I like the big cars, the old advertisements, the clothing and hair styles, the lexicon of the era, people smoking indoors.
There is also a sense of more space as there really was more space. Land, I mean. You see more woods and fields in 70's flicks. If you're lucky, you see an area undeveloped that you know is now covered in housing or industry. 70's films feel like family, too. It seems there were only so many actors to go around so you see the same faces in many movies from this time.
And, finally, Jennifer Billingsley was hot as molten steel in looks, mannerisms, and Southern flirtatious sex appeal.
I'm from NY but I was stationed in the South as a Marine. I loved the South! This flick reminded me why.
Summary of White Lightning
Burt Reynolds is Gator McKlusky, a moonshine runner who wages war against corrupt police officials in this two-fisted, four-wheeling action extravaganza. With adrenaline-pumping car chases, bone-crunching brawls and terrific acting by an all-star cast, including Diane Ladd and Laura Dern, White Lightning will give you the jolt of your life! Gator is serving time in an Arkansas prison when he learns that his brother has been murdered by ruthless Sheriff J.C. Connors (Ned Beatty). Swearing vengeance, Gator agrees to go undercover to expose Connors, going to any lengths to get the goods on the sheriff and make him pay for the crime with his life.Action & Adventure DVD Video
