Netflix is keeping up with the original movies and series and we have a good-looking thriller coming up in which an elite unit of operatives has just hours to drive two truckloads of nitroglycerine in order to prevent a major disaster. It’s sweat inducing time with the new trailer littered with explosions and bullets for the action-thriller The Wages of Fear!
Official Synopsis:
In the middle of the desert, near a refugee camp, an oil well catches fire, directly threatening the lives of the population. Dispatching experts to the site, the company operating the well realizes that it has only one solution to avert the catastrophe: detonate the oil well with nitroglycerin within 24 hours. Against a large sum of money, a powerhouse team is then sent 800 km away to transport 200 kg of explosives in two trucks.
The team now has less than 20 hours to reach the oil well. 20 hours to traverse hostile zones controlled by armed rebels, cross minefields, and drive two trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over rough terrain! The race against the clock has begun… ,
The Wages of Fear is a remake of a classic French thriller which sees Julien Leclercq in the director’s chair. the elite unit in the movie consists of cast members Franck Gastambide (Netflix’s Restless, Taxi 5, Validé), Alban Lenoir (Taken, Netflix’s Lost Bullet 2: Back for More, Netflix’s Big Bug), Ana Girardot (The Returned, Escobar: Paradise Lost) and Sofiane Zermani (Netflix’s No Limit, Hors Saison.
The Wages of Fear looks to check all the action and thriller movie boxes with pulse pounding sequences of disaster mixed with copious amounts of firepower. I get an amped up feeling of the classic William Friedkin 1977 film Sorcerer which had a similar theme although not as bombastic. Hollywood legend Roy Scheider starred in that movie and this new movie along with the original oozes the same chemistry of that one.
The Wages of Fear hits Netflix on March 29th!
