An average movie

Honestly, I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this flick and I above all wanted to watch it because Sean Connery had a small part in it. As a matter of fact, there was actually a rather amazing cast composed of many Britisch upcoming actors (Patrick McGoohan, William Hartnell, David McCallum, Sidney James and of course Sean Connery). Maybe most of them doesn’t sound really familiar but they eventually all became well known in the 1960s for their roles in film and television. The movie itself was not bad with some nice and suspenseful scenes and there was a decent gritty mood. Still, to be honest, the whole thing was far from being really remarkable and, eventually, I was rather underwhelmed by the whole plot. I mean, if you want to see a really amazing vintage classic dealing with truck drivers, you should watch instead ‘Le Salaire de La Peur’. Still, I thought it was pretty neat to see a very young Sean Connery (it was only his 3rd movie) and 5 years later, he would eventually breakthrough playing his most iconic part in ‘Dr. No’. To conclude, it is a rather obscure flick but I still think it is definitely worth a look, if only for its interesting cast.
