The Wages of Fear

In a desperate South American town, four unemployed men accept a dangerous job transporting trucks loaded with nitroglycerin to an oil field fire. As the journey crosses rough terrain, the unstable cargo and mounting pressure test their courage, cooperation, and determination to earn a life-changing reward.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy patient, psychologically tense thrillers such as Diabolique or Le Trou; Not for you if you prefer fast action, likable heroes, or consistently modern pacing.
