Slow rhythm, average actings and dialogs, but definitely worth watching. A good thriller.
A drawn-out and suspenseful nail-biter, often dripping with tension like the nitroglycerin-laden TNT.
Some spellbinding scenes and some great tension in a movie I wish was better than it is. Worth seeing at least once for what was captured.
So coated in sweat, blood and gasoline, you smell it burning off the film as it slowly gears up from a standing start to blistering tension.
A real “What a picture!” Kind of movie.
Bit of a slow start but once it gets going it doesn’t let go, incredibly tense and gripping
More people need to know about this movie. Unforgettable story with one of the best and definitely the most tense scenes ever made.
Tension. Tension, and more tension. This was a well made movie.
Great adventure film with some amazing shots and tense scenes. Despite the title, there's no magical elements.
Like Friedkin’s best work, Sorcerer delivers white-knuckle, nauseating tension.
