Movie Reviews of Sorcerer
Movie Review: WIDESCREEN--PLEASE!!! THE WAY I SAW IT IN THE CINEMA.
Summary: 3 Stars
Anyone interested in this title already knows the plot "wages of Fear" for wages sake ala Wm Friedkin. One of my top 10 favorite films of all time...SINFULLY REPLICATED in 1:33 aspect ratio. All that needs to be said is that this MUST BE RE-RELEASED IN ITS THEATRICAL FORMAT!!!!!!!!After that has been accomplished, please destroy once and for all, the 1:33 master tape, disc, program--all of it. GREEN PEOPLE!!! HERE IS YOUR CAUSE PRIMERO. SAVE THIS FILM AND SAVE THE EARTH! The ultimate greepeace epic film. See it and weep.

Summary of Sorcerer
Four outlaws truck leaky cases of nitroglycerin 218 miles through the south american jungle. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Roy Scheider Karl John Run time: 121 minutes Rating: Pg Director: William FriedkinFollowing the blockbuster success of The Exorcist, director William Friedkin had the clout to make any film he wanted, and he nearly ruined his career making Sorcerer, an ill-fated remake of the classic French thriller The Wages of Fear. Given the big-budget treatment that Friedkin could command, the original plot remains unchanged: In an unnamed Latin American country, Roy Scheider leads a group of four fugitives who will earn their freedom if they can successfully transport truckloads of volatile nitroglycerine over treacherous terrain to extinguish a raging oil fire. The unstable explosives could prove deadly at any point of the journey, and numerous obstacles threaten the completion of the mission. Produced under rugged conditions in the jungles of the Dominican Republic, the film is visually impressive and contains intense moments of astonishing suspense, but the specter of the superior French version hangs over every scene. This version remains a folly of directorial ambition run amuck, but for the very same reason Sorcerer is a film that's hauntingly unforgettable, fueled by an atmosphere of dread and the forceful powers of nature. Presented in full-screen format on DVD, the film is aided immeasurably by Tangerine Dream's eerie electronic score. --Jeff Shannon
