The Wages of Fear is very much your by the numbers, military action fare. A group of paid contractors are tasked with bringing a dangerous shipment of nitro glycerine to a oil well to put out an impending explosion and save a group of innocent local people, including one key characters family. ... The pacing is lack lustre. The same chase scenes keeping repeating with a few wrinkles that move things along but don't really add much in the way of variety. Indeed, the action in this film feels as sparce and uniform, as its desert setting. The back story is a bit ridiculous too. Again and again, the trucks carrying highly explosive nitro come under fire from desert raiders and yet the canisters, never get hit. Having said all this, the interactions between the main characters offers a measure of interest and actions scenes, are competently done. In summary, an OK watch but by no means anything special. Yes there are sub titles unless you speak French, that is.
