User reviews
The Wages of Fear is very much your by the numbers, military action fare.
A group of paid contractors are tasked with bringing a dangerous shipment of nitro glycerine to a oil well to put out an impending explosion and save a group of innocent local people, including one key characters family.
The pacing is lack lustre. The same chase scenes keeping repeating with a few wrinkles that move things along but don't really add much in the way of variety. Indeed, the action in this film feels as sparce and uniform, as its desert setting.
The back story is a bit ridiculous too. Again and again, the trucks carrying highly explosive nitro come under fire from desert raiders and yet the canisters, never get hit.
Having said all this, the interactions between the main characters offers a measure of interest and actions scenes, are competently done.
In summary, an OK watch but by no means anything special. Yes there are sub titles unless you speak French, that is.

Rifftrax Live: Starship Troopers (2013)
10/10
Starship Troopers is the tale of young trooper Johnny Rico, played by Casper Van Dien, star of this and...well, some direct to video sequels of this, mostly. He’s joined in the war by Denise Richards, impossible to believe as a gifted starship pilot long before she was impossible to believe as a gifted nuclear scientist in that Bond movie. He’s also joined by the great Neil Patrick Harris, who is somehow much easier to believe as an intelligence officer with psychic abilities that help him communicate with the giant bug aliens. Throw in Michael Ironside, because duh, it’s a war movie, you’re gonna need Michael Ironside, and Jake Busey, because duh, he just showed up on set and wouldn’t leave, add a love triangle, heaps of alien splatter, and you’ve got the sprawling, great, goofy mess that is Starship Troopers! Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for this gorilla-gram free version of the blockbuster live show!
