Burt Reynolds wasn't a great actor but he couldn't have been better in Deliverance.
There are times when the talent shines through - much like John Wayne, Burt cashed a lot of paychecks where the money was for being Burt Reynolds.
In Deliverance, I agree he couldn't have been better. I think that was true for a number of films he made during that time (for example, his acting is underrated in The Longest Yard, while a relatively unserious movie, Burt held the entire thing together), but even late career, if he took something seriously, like Boogie Nights, he nailed it (even though he didn't much care for the content).
Southern Comfort had legit A-grade actors, Walter Hill and it showed.
