Super snooze fest

When I first started watching the movie with the English dubbed version, I didn't enjoy it because the voices and sound effects seemed slow and unimpressive. I then tried watching it with the original soundtrack, but it didn't get any better. The action scenes, which should have been thrilling, were just not exciting at all, mostly because they were too focused on showing violence without a good pace. The sound editing was also not great, making the movie feel dull and uninteresting. It seemed like the filmmakers were more interested in filming some nice scenes in the rocky terrain than in developing a gripping story. I couldn't feel any empathy for the main characters when they were in danger or got hurt because the movie didn't make me care about them. In the end, it was really boring and not worth watching.

I made it 7 minutes in.....

Yes, you read that right....just seven minutes into this movie and it was apparanetly clear how badly directed, written, edited and acted.

Editing First clue to a bad movie is when a very simple scene have multiple edits in just three seconds of scene. GUILTY. A chase scene was edited so badly that you did not know who were the good guys or bad guys.

Direction: The villain is only five seconds behind me, I ran off the road, get stuck, get pushed out and now the villain is about 30 seconds behind me. Stupid...just stupid. Oh, the the villain is steadily firing a machine gun and not hitting anything once.

Writing/Acting: I am about to lose my life and I rattle off a statement with the same emotion of ordering a soy latte.

Skip this movie.

You're not transporting apples

I believe that if you're transporting nitroglycerin in two trucks, it would be best if the two trucks were not driving nose-to-tail. It would be better if they were separated by a time difference, so that if one truck blows up, the other doesn't go with it. I'm sure I saw this in the two previous versions of this film.

The principle of using two trucks is to improve the chances of at least one getting through. However, nobody in this film thinks about this, or they wouldn't be driving nose to tail. The glass canisters containing the nitroglycerin look quite fragile, and they are simply stacked in crates with nothing to cushion them against each other, so you hear them rattling along as the trucks hurtle around hairpin bends. I remember that "Sorceror" had the nitro sticks buried in crates of sand.

Anyway the nitro is not that powerful, because we have the heroine throwing some canisters at an attacking vehicle, and she needs three tries before the explosion is enough to knock the vehicle off the road. I'm surprised she didn't blow herself up with the overhand throwing, so once again, the nitro isn't much more powerful than apples.

Also we should question the bandits chasing a truck the size of a barn door, and failing to put one bullet, from a 50 cal machine gun, in the back of it where the nitro is stored. They can't even hit the heroine when she's climbing out of the cab and onto the roof of the nitro vehicle.

At some point, one of the crew shoots his co-driver so that he can get his share of the money that they are promised when they get there. Did I fall asleep and miss something? The hero and his brother were promised a million each to do the drive. At what point was it stated that there is a reward for completion of the job payable to whoever survives? It was quite clearly stated in both previous movies, but not in this. Suddenly, out of the blue, one driver shoots another and comes up with this fantasy idea that he will now get his share.

Anyway, point of information, the European release of "Sorceror" was a re-edit, and put the four back stories as flashbacks throughout the film. A much better version in my opinion.
