Welcome backt to Film Haven Reviews!! This week we are continuing our "70's Car Chase Scene" theme with the good ol' boy classic White Lightning (1973). 

This was such a fun movie to watch and perfectly embodied the genre of Deep South Car movie. A young Burt Reynolds really sells the rough around the edges country hero and Ned Beatty plays a pitch perfect antagonist as the Sheriff of Bogan Country. I gave this movie a 7/10 for providing fun car chase thrills, incredible sense of setting, but a little over long and a meandering second half. All around it was a fun time though!
