Sorcerer (1977)
Should I see it?
No.



William Friedkin's remake of Wages of Fear starts out strongly and then drifts into a series of high tension scenes that fail to impress. Starring Roy Schneider, this film follows a group of distraught men who take a job delivering nitroglycerin across rough South American terrain. Unlike the original, this film does a fantastic job setting up why these men would take such a job, but it loses much of its steam when the men leave to perform their job. This lukewarm production may be worth stopping on if you see it, but it is not worth hunting down.
