Review:
Wow, though it starts out in a violent and confusing journey around the world nearly with different characters around every corner it morphs into one of the most exciting action/thrillers I've ever seen. Yes, it's a remake of Le salaire de la peur [The Wages of Fear] and although I haven't seen the original I can say this is one heck of a wild ride. A group of Men from around the world who basically have gone into hiding in a dangerous area of South America. They all really need money, so when jobs come up to rickety drive trucks into some scary jungle terrain they all take on the task. The thing is, their cargo is deadly explosives that can go off at any time! I'm sure just by hearing that you can see why this is such an edge-of-the-seat thriller. The cast is wicked, and the situation couldn't seem more perilous if it tried, even the Tangerine Dream seemed fitting. I really recommend this and thought it was great, I only wish the beginning was a little clearer or less scattered seeming.
Availability: On DVD
