A pulse-pounding thrill ride from start to finish, Wages of Fear is about mercenaries transporting unstable chemicals through the desert.
In a desert filled with threats at every turn, from armed bandits to minefields, a crew of French mercenaries is tasked with transporting a stash of nitroglycerin to an oil well in order to blow it up. That's the gist of the new pulse-pounding Netflix thriller Wages of Fear, a remake of the 1953 French classic of the same name in which the mercenaries are offered $1 million to do the thankless job of hauling unstable chemicals across a very unstable landscape.
The latter, in fact, stars Alban Lenoir, who can also be seen in Wages of Fear as Alex, a demolitions expert freed from prison in order to join the mission of traversing the desert. All of which is to say, I feel like France is crushing it right now with these kinds of gritty action releases. Alban Lenoir in 'Wages of Fear' on Netflix.
