I didn't recall why the title "Sorcerer" was employed and read that it was the name of one of the trucks transporting the nitroglycerin explosives.

I'm not a huge fan of THE EXORCIST and I didn't enjoy THE FRENCH CONNECTION. These movies were like showcases, truly only focusing on one particular sequence or series of sequences, like the bedroom scenes in THE EXORCIST and the car chase in THE FRENCH CONNECTION. But when he's good, he's very good. I kinda liked TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. Rich characters, solid story. It worked. I'll definitely be checking out SORCERER. If it's even half as good as your write-up, I'll be in for a treat!sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-8741783376967654312009-09-30T20:57:58.526-04:002009-09-30T20:57:58.526-04:00Rick, I have not seen either movie, and your beaut...Rick, I have not seen either movie, and your beautifully descriptive article makes me anxious to see both.
