Leave your thoughts about The Wages of Fear.
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumA significant influence on Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, this grueling pile driver of a movie will keep you on the edge of your seat, though it reeks of French 50s attitude, which includes misogyny, snobbishness, and borderline racism. |
| Slant MagazineBudd WilkinsThe Wages of Fear contains tension-fraught stretches of "pure cinema" that probably gave even the Master cold sweats. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWages of Fear is the kind of motion picture for which commonplace phrases like "white-knuckle tension ride" have been coined. |
| Movie MomNell MinowThe most nail-bitingly tense movie ever made, unbearably suspenseful. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphOne of the most suspenseful films ever made. |
| StarburstRobert MartinThis is filmmaking at its very best and rarely does a film grip with such intensity, some scenes being almost unbearable to watch as the situations the men find themselves in create palpable tension, which you believe utterly. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyAn expertly directed, personally felt film. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA classic suspense film...also the screen equivalent of a classic existentialist drama...The chemical reaction Clouzot gets from these genres is pure dynamite. [Blu-ray] |
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfHere's where it's easiest to see Clouzot's advantage over his more famous peer, as he combines nail-biting action scenes - calibrated to the millimeter - with a Hawksian command of earthy performances. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film's extended suspense sequences deserve a place among the great stretches of cinema. |
