Audience Reviews

Lars N A bit of a slug to begin with, bot once the nitroglycerin is added the tension adds up real quick! It was a pretty sweet, sweaty ride. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Chinu D Its a really good movie. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review acsdoug D One critic wrote that "only an idiot would argue that [William Friedkin's 1977 remake] Sorcerer is a better movie than Wages of Fear." Well, call me an idiot, but Sorcerer is the better film. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Jim H Simply perfect in any way of filmmaking. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Johnathon W One of the finest thrillers ever produced, thanks to some tense direction and a superb cast. The actors are all excellent in their respective roles, especially since all of them don't portray them as either good or evil. Each has their qualities and flaws, from the drivers who will do anything to complete their mission, even at the expense of each other, to the oil plant boss that sends them on their mission (he knows they will likely die, hence why he insists on paying them well if they succeed). Behind the camera, director Henri-Georges Clouzot crafts an expert thriller in an exotic setting with some politic underpinnings. He never gets too preacher but delivers a message condemning corporate greed and exploiting third world countries. However, its heart is the thrill of delivering nitro across a jungle and will keep you on the razor's edge till the end. A true classic in every since of the word. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Tinger T THIS is the version to watch. The remake was awful.
