5/5
"The Wages of Fear is a frantic, vicious, existentialist howl that still manages to laugh; it goes grinning into the void."

A
"
The Wages of Fear
, the ultimate truck driver picture, is primarily a general exemplification of how the rich take advantage of the poor, how they're happy to send them out on missions of certain death for their own personal, capital benefit."
Cinepinion
Henry Stewart
4/4
"The kind of motion picture for which commonplace phrases like 'white-knuckle tension ride' have been coined."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/5
"A terrific portrait of the class struggle that happens to have a few cases of nitro strapped to it to up the ante from the metaphorical to the extremely physical."
Netflix
