Since I just discovered The French Connection (1971) and was absolutely blown away by it I had to revisit Sorcerer (1977) and other William Friedkin material. Sorcerer delivers in much the same was as FC due to its rawness and documentary feel. If you liked There Will Be Blood (2007), which features "men doing things with their hands," you will like this film. It also involves the oil business interestingly enough. Its about four sympathetic criminals from across the globe that meet for a mission impossible. It is gripping and has no cathartic ending. FC had its famous car/train chase. Sorcerer has a similarly unforgetable sequence involving trucks and a bridge. I am well into a 70s blitz that will continue for some time. Cue Sorcerer up!
