The Wages of Fear (2024)

The Wages of Fear (2024). 1h 44m | TV-MA

“I tried it because it is made by a director – Julien Leclercq – whom I have always followed and mostly liked the films and series – BRAQUEURS. But here, sorry, I could not make it. It is lousy, nearly laughable, a total waste of time. Julien Leclercqu0026#39;s worst film, so far. Where is the GIBRALTAR director? He seems to have lost all ambition. Actually this story lacks tragedy, it would have been gloomier, I would have liked it, because not every director is Clouzot or Friedkin…I can understand this. And from the first day I was informed of this u0026quot;explosiveu0026quot; project, I was afraid. I felt like a beast inside of me growing up, spreading in all my body. A SALAIRE DE LA PEUR remake with Alban Lenoir!!! Oh My God !!!! And my terror was unfortunately plenty justified and confirmed. Run away from it. It is more dangerous for your movie loving tendancies than any nitroglycerin truck. But if you want an advice to appreciate this one, at least TRY to appreciate, please forget the two previous films: LE SALAIRE DE LA PEUR – the genuine one, starring Yves Montand and Charles Vanel, and WAGES OF FEAR, starring Bruno Cremer. Then, and only then, maybe youu0026#39;ll may bear this one. I must admit it is not boring. AT LEAST.”
