The finest hour of William Friedkin
William Friedkin was undoubtedly one of the 1970s greatest and most influential directors. He only made 3 pictures during the decade, but all are landmark films. The first was The French Connection (1971), the film that won him his best director Oscar & the film won best picture. His next film, The Exorcist (1973) is probably his most famous/infamous & and it’s the only movie that’s still a truly terrifying experience, something to endure as much as to watch almost lol. Sorcerer (1977) was his 3rd and final film of the decade, and in spite of or perhaps even because of how it was a largely forgotten film for so long (after seeing it on cable nearly 30 years ago, it was a movie I simply could not track down until the release of this Blu-Ray) I really think in so many ways it ranks right along aside his first two 70s classics, and perhaps even surpasses those films in terms of pure audacity. The rope bridge scene is as intense as a set piece gets and is worth the price of admission all on its own, but the film as a whole is a clinic in lean, economical filmmaking. And the score by Tangerine Dream kicks serious a**. It might be because of his 70s trifecta Sorcerer is the only one that is still almost sort of like a “new film” too me, as I’ve only watched it maybe 3-4 times and have seen the other 2 dozens of times, but for my money Sorcerer is master filmmaker William Friedkin at the absolute peak of his powers.
MD2020 gives “Sorcerer” 5 out of 5 ⭐️s and says it’s a flawless action film and Friedkins best work.

A stylish, intimate remake of a French Classic
William Friedkin (The French Connection) brings us exotic locations and gripping story in Sorcerer, a remake of Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1953 thriller Wages of Fear.
The first hour of this movie seems to be comprised of random events involving four individuals that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The only commonality is that they are all men of dubious character. Probably the most recognizable actor in this film is Roy Schieder, who plays a low level New York gangster participate in a robbery that goes bad, and forces him to flee the country due to the fact he managed to step on some pretty well connected toes. The second man, a French businessman, escapes from the threat of prosecution due to some shady business dealings. The third man, a Middle Eastern terrorist flees his captors after being caught participating in a bombing, and the fourth man is a shady assassin type apparently on the run from repercussion from his last hit.
The key is all four men end up in a South American rat-infested stink hole of a town called Vera Cruz. After awhile, they find their sanctuary has become more of a prison and all begin a desperate search for a way out, but that involves money, a commodity that's in short supply, with the only work available in the area is provided by an oil company that runs a well and is building a pipeline for the bubbling crude. Dangerous work, and the pay is so low that it would take years to earn enough to leave. Salvation for the men comes in a catastrophic disaster, an explosion damaging the well and causing the oil to burn.
The only way to close the well proper for repairs is to blow it up, and the only explosives available are 200 miles away. Turns out the explosives, sticks of nitro, haven't been tended very well, and, in turn, are highly unstable. The company decides to hire four men to drive two trucks to carry the dangerous materials through 200 miles of dangerous jungle, including prehistoric rope and wood bridges, treacherous mountain passes, deadly bandits and swampy roads laden with fallen trees. The suicide mission draws the four men, as the money would allow them to escape the oppressive town. The most intense scenes for me involved the men trying to traverse a rickety, rotting wooden rope suspension bridge over a raging river during a heavy rainstorm. There were times when the truck on the bridge was at such an angle, I thought it would flip right off. And all the actors performed most all their own stunts, adding to the realism of the movie. Do they make it? See the movie and find out. I especially liked the very end. A very nice touch that reminded me of an ending of a certain Alfred Hitchcock movie. Which one? I won't say, as it would give it away.
The movie runs just under two hours, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Friedkin and the actors do a wonderful job in developing tensions between the characters and the environment and the between the characters themselves. The pacing is a bit slow, but it's deliberate, cranking the suspense up, notch by grueling notch.
There are sparse special features, including pretty thorough productions notes and a trailer. If you enjoy thrilling adventure, you will most likely like this movie. I would have happily given this movie five stars but it is only available in the full screen format. Something I didn't understand is the title for the movie. I wasn't able to figure out what it had to do with the movie....

Forgotten Classic
Sorcerer (1977) is, for the most part, a forgotten classic. First the forgotten: this film got kicked around by moviegoers when first released, probably because the title is misleading (nothing to do with fantasy), and they probably weren't in the mood for this film due to the sudden stratospheric success of another film that debuted at the same time (Star Wars). With Star Wars cementing the advent of the summer blockbuster, suddenly moviegoers wanted stuff more on the surface and eye candy for good measure. As a result, Sorcerer never got its footing, and was a major box office failure. If this film had debuted just a few years earlier, it would've done well, because it would've fit in with the other films of the time. The truth is that Sorcerer is an adaptation (not a remake) of The Wages of Fear from 1953. Now the classic: Sorcerer has since generated the respect it deserves, and is one of the best films of the 1970's. This film has it all: action, suspense, breathtaking and iconic scenes (the bridge scene being one), organic acting and a sort of 'raw' feel in terms of a lot of the settings; dwellings are dilapidated, and the machinery rusty. Even the actors are dirty, sweaty, and have visible wounds throughout the film. I particularly like the restraint on the dialogue, as Friedkin chooses to tell the story more in a visual sense. I also like the uniqueness of the characters being kept at a distance from the audience; this makes them sort of mysterious and seems to work in this film. This film was a very ambitious project, one that has been rewarded with the passage of time (thankfully). The care that went into many scenes and accompanying special effects are obvious, and first rate. Overall, Sorcerer is a must-see. This blu ray has excellent picture and sound quality, so it was worth the wait in that regard. One last thing: it's extremely rare for a blu ray disc to not include any special features; in the case of Sorcerer, it's unfortunately true. Perhaps this fact tells us just how much of a beating this film took over the years. I guess we should feel grateful that it has even made it onto blu ray.

Sorcerer (1977) (BD)
This is a different version, which can happen after the initial film with different editing and ending. I don't remember the political emphasis at all, and the ending of the other version was with Roy Scheider getting through the rough parts with his eyes glowing as he drove the truck alone, a real Sorcerer, after performing the miracle. This version continues after the completion to another ending altogether. I think both are great films, but each with a separate focus. This was all done without CGI which seems impossible. The scenes are still amazing and the camera work and editing top-notch.

Good but not Wages of Fear
The much maligned Sorcerer is in fact a good well crafted thriller that if seen without refrence to the Original Wages of Fear would have faired far better at the hands of the critics. That's not to say the film is perfect. The opening scenes that fill the viewer in on the charecters back stories, are pointless and actually work against the tension that is built up later in the film. Knowing exactly why the characters are desperate makes their reasons for taking on the deadly task seem a bit lame and looses the exestential angst that creates such a hopeless atmosphere.
Once in South America the oppresive nature of their stay in the village is also diminshed by knowing too much about them. Having said all that there is still an air of desperation and mounting frustration, it's just not as clausterphobic as it could have been. Once the journey begins the tension is turned on, the only problem is that by knowing the original so well there is not quite the frisson of that classic. This is an unfortunate by-product of re-making any well respected film. Friedkin however has a fair go and if this is the film you see first you will wonder why it was so slated on original release.
The film moves at a well constructed pace that is aided by a cracking score from Tangerine Dream. The cast perform well and Roy Scheider is reasonably well cast but does not deliver the subtly nuanced performance he is capable of, for this you need to look towards (obviously) Jaws and to a lesser extent the minor role he playes in Naked Lunch.
All in all a good film, though not great, and as the review starts by saying, not Wages Of Fear, but it deserves a better reputation than it so unfortunatly has and will be a good addition to anyones collection of interesting 70's films (the best decade for American Filmaking by a long long way).
