Perfect movie if you want to reorient yourself on your couch and go "aaAAAaa jesus christ" every few minutes. Provokes such visceral reactions I'm aching to rewatch it with different people. (Several months apart, so my bones have time to settle between viewings.) Makes…
demi adejuyigbeNov 2, 2016A cinema of madness. Pure physical detail. Damnation as a form of cinematic spectacle. Man with blood in their hands fulfilling their death wish. What for Clozout is social need, for Friedkin is self-punishment. First world crimes reimagined in a third world purgatory, an…

You work, you enter a hellish hysteria of dirt and blood and rain and fire where your flesh is as valuable as what it can physically carry for the company, and then you die. Full discussion on ep 170 of my podcast SLEAZOIDS.

KarstenApr 21, 2021Incredible that Friedkin destroyed himself and his crew to make a masterpiece and audiences were just like, “This sucks. Let’s go see Star Wars again.”

I burned calories from the amount of time I clenched my booty hole
nevan lovedSorcerervisually striking, consistently entertaining and wildly unpredictable, a unique and transformative film that blends different settings, cultures and forms of peril to create an amazing film. more than solid in all regards with wonderfully detailed cinematography; incredible title
Platypus Lord likedSorcererVirile. Tense. Grimy. Fleeting moments of humanization before being devoured in the jaws of fate. Piques your interest right away with four vignettes of unrelated characters. The environments & sets are so raw and real. Cool synthy score from Tangerine Dream.
- CvptvinHowdy is "meh" onSorcerer
I enjoyed the introduction to the characters, but there's a large portion of the film that drags quite a bit till we get to the plot. Once we get there, though, it gets very intense all the way through, especially that bridge scene, which is pretty crazy.
Vogue Italia dislikedSorcererTERRIBLE remake of The Wages of Fear. Like genuinely so much less thrilling and frightening than the one from 1953, this one makes it a happy little story with far less of a terrifying journey. Just watch the original oh my godddddd. Boooooo! Booooo! 🍅🍅
Matthew Golad likedSorcererBizarre tale of 4 people escaping mistakes from their past taking a life or death job with promise of great fortune. Glad I watched it. It makes you work for answers.
- DarkStarSpace lovedSorcerer
Probably my favorite of the Friedkin films I’ve seen. It is very tense and will have you on the edge of your seat about guys driving a truck through the jungle.
Hank Leet lovedSorcererEven though it may tone down some of the stakes of the original, it still passes as a solid remake while finding tension and dread in new ways
10000BCman likedSorcerercrazy how there’s like 1000 movies but only one movie about the boys being back in town

Metacritic
Though there’s gunplay, and more than a few explosions, the focus of this grim jungle odyssey is on the prevention of carnage, the heart-in-throat attempts not to blow something up.
A.A. Dowd
The A.V. Club
A defiant, mad gesture of a film that features some of the most exhilarating sequences in movie history.
Sam Adams
The Dissolve
Perhaps the elusive, uncanny soundtrack of Tangerine Dream brings this about, or maybe it’s Friedkin’s juxtapositions of close-ups and stark long shots of the tiny trucks lost in jungle or desert landscapes, but Sorcerer eventually seems to be happening someplace not of this world. Not hell, exactly; maybe Limbo.
