You are the fifth man in the canoe

“The law! Ha! The law! What law? WHERE’S THE LAW, DREW? HUH?”.

In a remote and desolate region does all manner of law and order cease. Take four men from the city and pit them against the harshness and brutality of the wilderness and the darkness of their primal instincts deep within, and what may manifest into reality are sets of circumstances no man ever wishes to find themselves in in the modern civilized world. Do you continue to retain your morality in the way Ronny Cox did, or swim against it like Jon Voight, Ned Beatty and Burt Reynolds if it means survival and staying one step ahead of authority? You are with all four men for the entirety of their canoe trip. You are paddling your oar in the water. You are the fifth man in this group of four, the only one who cannot be seen or addressed, debating and agreeing and disagreeing with every single blood-stained choice that is made. Choices you may have agreed with at one point you later come to regret and choices you may have regretted at one point you come to agree with as the gravity of the situation gets worse, and worse, and worse, and worse. If there’s any movie that’s literally a Telltale video game brought to the big-screen, it’s Deliverance. It makes you question your own morality and what you yourself in this startling situation would do.
