Late last month, director Julien Leclercq released his latest movie, The Wages of Fear, the third remake of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s seminal 1953 thriller. If you’re looking for a nail-biting drama about a group of men risking life and limb for a second chance at life, what better film to watch than The Exorcist director William Friedkin’s 1977 remake?

Named after Miles Davis’ 1967 album, Sorcerer follows a group of four men: fugitives, resistance fighters, outcasts, and debtors, each of whom has taken refuge in a remote village in Colombia with no way home. Desperate to escape their predicament, each of them accepts a terrifying job offer: Transport a convoy of unstable dynamite through the jungle to extinguish an oil well explosion in exchange for enough money to leave the country. Over the course of their journey, all of the men are brought face-to-face with their own mortality and rendered shadows of their former selves by the ruthless perils of the jungle.

Friedkin’s film is a brutal, adrenaline-pumping experience, packed to the brim with moments that will have viewers gasping in their seats. You wanna see a man get
