Criminally underrated, mostly due to releasing the same weekend as Star Wars. Anyone else a fan of this movie?

I feel like Friedkin is underrated as a director, he's done some great movies even apart from the big ones (The Exorcist, The French Connection). Cruising, To Live and Die in LA, Bug, Sorcerer.

Wages of Fear is one of my all time favorites, and while Sorcerer isn't as good, it's still worth watching. I've driven down some hairy unmaintained logging roads for work, so I always get excited when I see someone make bad driving decisions that they have no choice but to commit to. Can't back up the hill, no room to turn around, guess we're going over the bridge, guys!
