Criminally underrated, mostly due to releasing the same weekend as Star Wars. Anyone else a fan of this movie?

    Good god this movie is TENSE. Check out the original French version from the 50s if you can find it. Wages of Fear. Goddamn my man.

      By the time you get to the action in WoF you are so damn invested in it all that every moment is on a literal hair trigger… First time I watched this I was alone in my living room just saying “Oh shit-- jesus christ-- oh fuck” to myself the whole time.

      I have yet to watch Sorcerer but I do have it-- looking forward!

      You wouldn’t know it from the first half hour! Can’t believe the studio needed to put out posters warning audiences that ‘only the first two scenes’ aren’t in English.
