If The Wages of Fear hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: life and death and dynamite
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than The Wages of Fear does

Common ground: male friendship
The difference: Trades the tension of The Wages of Fear for an angle of its own

Contemplative where it counts, epic underneath
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Warm drama in both cases
The difference: 34 years apart, and the 1980s show

Thriller with a pulse of tension, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to action than The Wages of Fear does

Henri-Georges Clouzot directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

Both are built on the same subject: male friendship

Adventure built on stillness, twice over

Tense drama, and it commits to that

Both lean on scale more than on thriller

Both lean on warmth more than on adventure

Both lean on stillness more than on drama
In the mood for more contemplative?
