Made two years before his slightly better known DIABOLIQUE, Henri-Georges Clouzot's nail-biter of a suspense film is the story of four broke and desperate men stranded in Latin America. Eager for a way out of their respective situations, they accept an American oil company's impossibly dangerous offer to transport two truckloads of nitroglycerin across hazardous jungle terrain. Remade by William Friedkin as SORCERER in 1977.
Cast:
"...Seldom have the exquisite pain and pleasure of motion-picture suspense been mixed with quite the intoxicating effects that [Clouzot] achieves [here]....Classic..."
-- Vincent Canby
, (New York Times)
Rating: B -- Lawrence O'Toole , (Entertainment Weekly) "...The film's extended suspense sequences deserve a place among the great stretches of cinema..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times) "...This original is one of the most exciting movies ever..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today) "[I]t's a masterpiece of tension, precision, and a very specific form of masculine desperation." -- Grade: A- -- Marc Bernardin , (Entertainment Weekly) 4 stars out of 4 -- "Memorable performances, precise pacing, subtle detail: Now that's thrilling." -- Tim Sheridan , (Premiere)
