\u201cTurning the screws with a relentlessness that impresses even in this age of the ruthless, high-tech thriller, Clouzot strings together situations of vividly, almost sadistically imagined danger\u201d. Chicago Tribune<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still rated one of the greatest action films of all time, The Wages of Fear<\/i> continues to set the gold standard for tension and suspense. Unsentimental in its depiction of the human condition The Wages of Fear<\/i> follows four men, down on their luck and enticed into driving trucks loaded with nitro-glycerine over treacherous terrain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wages of Fear<\/i> has no superior in the field of action-suspense.\u201d The Guardian<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
