El salario del miedo

Yes, you read that right....just seven minutes into this movie and it was apparanetly clear how badly directed, written, edited and acted.

Editing First clue to a bad movie is when a very simple scene have multiple edits in just three seconds of scene. GUILTY. A chase scene was edited so badly that you did not know who were the good guys or bad guys.

Direction: The villain is only five seconds behind me, I ran off the road, get stuck, get pushed out and now the villain is about 30 seconds behind me. Stupid...just stupid. Oh, the the villain is steadily firing a machine gun and not hitting anything once.

Writing/Acting: I am about to lose my life and I rattle off a statement with the same emotion of ordering a soy latte.

Skip this movie.

For almost anyone who studied french in high school in Quebec in the 80s one of the standard books was "La Dynamite" about driving a truck with unstable nitroglycerine across treacherous terrain and bumpy roads.

This is basically that but with guns and over acting.

Now Georges Arnaud wrote "Le Salaire de la peur" in 1950 so it's more likely that our "La Dynamite" was a copy of that, but it was amusing.

Beyond that, it's not a great film, mediocre at best, but it is mindless late night viewing. Maybe it was because the story was so familiar in general but everything about this movie was overly predictable.

New from Netflix, a film that is shot well, the graphics are good, but overall it is bad and here's why. From the very beginning, Murphy's law occurs around the main characters, everything bad that can happen to them will definitely happen, if at first it may seem interesting, but by the fifth case it can get boring.

The plot of the film lasts so long that we see the title of the film when we have already watched a third of the film. And the content of this plot is so empty that it does not affect the further course of events, we did not get to know the characters closely, and the plot did not advance at all.

The main plot revolves around two brothers who must heroically save the settlement from the explosion of a gas well. On the way to this goal they face all sorts of obstacles, from shootouts and chases to banal roadblocks.

The main characters are stupid and naive, just look at the scene where the explosives technician is hiding from the explosion behind a car stuffed with explosives. But the ending of the film can surpass even this...

In general, it's a pity to waste time - a waste product that has been digested many times.

When I first started watching the movie with the English dubbed version, I didn't enjoy it because the voices and sound effects seemed slow and unimpressive. I then tried watching it with the original soundtrack, but it didn't get any better. The action scenes, which should have been thrilling, were just not exciting at all, mostly because they were too focused on showing violence without a good pace. The sound editing was also not great, making the movie feel dull and uninteresting. It seemed like the filmmakers were more interested in filming some nice scenes in the rocky terrain than in developing a gripping story. I couldn't feel any empathy for the main characters when they were in danger or got hurt because the movie didn't make me care about them. In the end, it was really boring and not worth watching.

This is the second adaptation of the french movie and this time netflix gives it a spin. It's not a film that was needed to be made in any capacity but for what it's worth it was atleast enjoyable for the most part. So there's this oil refinery. It's pressure is mounting to dangerous levels and if it ends up exploding it would cause problems for a lot of people. A team are sent it to for some reason grab nitroglycerin from a compound so it can be driving into the raging fire of the refinery and blown in order to save everyone. Now this makes no sense atleast to me and it's very vague but atleast the cast seemed to be decent enough.
