Now available on Netflix, ‘The Wages of Fear’ is written and directed by Julien Leclercq (‘Criminal Underworld’) and is a remake from the 1950s French action classic.
In the plot, an oil well catches fire in the middle of the desert, near a refugee camp, directly threatening the lives of the population. When sending experts to the site, the company operating the well realizes that it only has one solution to avoid the catastrophe: detonate the oil well with nitroglycerin within 24 hours.
Against a large sum of money, a powerful 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 cross 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…
On social media, the platform’s subscribers are praising the plot, claiming that the film manages to stand out in an already saturated genre.
In fact, some rated it 9/10.
