An exceptional film from William Friedkin, utterly gripping from the opening scene right until the end. Spectacular visuals and another memorable score from Tangerine Dream.

"6.9.11. TV Friedkinin erinomainen remake Pelon palkasta ei ole elokuvallisesti aivan yhtä hyvä kuin edeltäjänsä eikä jännitteeltään jaksa kantaa aivan koko aikaa, mutta pitää sisällään niin paljon originelleja jaksoja ja keksintöjä, että sitä on pakko arvostaa. Kihelmöivää jännäriä ja yksi harvoista oikeasti mainioista remakeista - kuuluisa siltajakso on hehkutettu ihan syystäkin."

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary - Year 2011 (713 movies items)

"5.11. 2011 The first hour of Friedkin's "Sorcerer" consists mostly of disjointed action scenes, and since hardly anything is told about the main characters it's hard to be interested in anything happening on the screen. The second hour of the film isn't as dull as the first one, but the film still suffers from slow pace and awkward editing. "Sorcerer" offers some thrilling moments but it lacks subtlety and political commentary that made Clouzot's masterful "Le salaire de la peur" so unforgettab"

"6.9. Erinomainen remake Pelon palkasta. Alku on ehkä vähän turhan hidas ja mielenkiinnoton, mutta kun nitroglyseriinikuljetukset alkavat, muuttuu elokuva lähes yhtä piinaavan jännittäväksi kuin alkuperäinen. Siltakohtaus on aivan mielipuolinen ja sen kuvaaminen on varmasti vaatinut paljon tuskailua ja hikeä. Näyttää mukavan likaiselta ja musiikit ovat kolkkoudessaan erinomaiset."
