Title: STUNNING REMAKE OF "THE WAGES OF FEAR" BADLY FORMATTED
Product review: DVD COMMENT BY GANGARUNNER: One of the most intensely realistic thrillers ever made and William Friedkin's greastest work. Also the greatest REMAKE ever made. But is it formatted in WIDESCREEN with extras and maybe COMMENTARY? Heck no, it's FULLSCREEN with no extras. This movie would get 5 STARS but I give 1 STAR to the STUDIO for releasing this MASTERPIECE in FULLSCREEN. If ever a film begged to be LETTERBOXED, it's this one. I know this film did not do well in it's initial release, but it's obviously a CULT CLASSIC, now. I guess Friedkin is too busy doing another EXORCIST REISSUE- THE VERSION YOU HAVEN"T PAID FOR YET. What a crime.Maybe Criterion will redo this the way it should have been done. Don't fail to check out their version of the original classic, THE WAGES OF FEAR. A WORD OF WARNING-it's in French.
