Underrated edge of the seat thriller. - Sorcerer review by Piehawker
The film has a slow burn/intro which I slightly struggled with. But once it gets going, it's edge of the seat tension and clear narrative. Two sequences involving bridge crossings in a storm are fantastic and there's strong performances all round. A soundtrack by Tangerine Dream really anchors the film and suspense (fans of John Carpenter scores/The Warriors and Drive should check out the soundtrack) Well worth checking out. One which had gone under my radar from a long time, but glad I was able to see the blu ray. Excellent transfer and a solid film.
