Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Sorceror (1977)

Nilo: When the money's up, 
I'm just as good as any of you.

Back in March when Criterion announced that William Friedkin's film Sorceror was getting a 4K release from them -- which it has, today this very day! -- I admitted this movie was only a recent  favorite since I hadn't until a few years ago. But in that brief time it's become much loved by me -- I've now seen it twice on a big screen and if this movie doesn't have you holding your breath you must be dead already. It's wonderful is my point, a top-notch thriller, and I can't wait to check out Criterion's 4K restoration. On a related note I heard that Barnes & Noble's annual summertime Criterion sale starts this Friday! So get your wish lists prepped!

One of Friedkin's best films. Every bit the equal of Cleuzot's original 'The Wages Of Fear'.
