Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
By the time Sorcerer gets around to its rain-soaked, rickety-bridge set piece, you'll either be obsessed or fully checked out. Give yourself a chance to pick sides.
– Joshua Rothkopf,

fresh:
First and foremost a lavish entertainment, no matter its brief examination of oil politics.
– Alan Scherstuhl,
Village Voice,
27 May 2014
rotten:
The new movie is handsomely shot and crisply edited. Why, then, does one rather distantly respect it instead of just plain liking it? It is an odd, disappointing feeling to take away from a summertime movie.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
20 May 2011
rotten:
William Friedkin's Sorcerer is a painstaking, admirable, but mostly distant and uninvolving suspenser based on the French classic The Wages of Fear.
– Variety Staff,

rotten:
Friedkin hints at political themes, but the film suffers most from condescendingly over-emphatic direction, and a generally tedious, relentless grimy realism in the opening half hour.
