Fear Is the Key (1972) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

I like Alistair MacLean's books, so I approached this film with a sense of dread. Could it be another MacLean book ruined on the big screen, like Bear Island, Caravan to Vaccares or River of Death? Fortunately, this is perhaps the best of all the MacLean's film adaptations. It begins with the most extraordinary car chase imaginable (far better than the much touted one in The French Connection) and never relaxes from that point on. To reveal much of the plot would be a spoiler, but suffice to say that the hero spends most of the film acting as the bad guy, trying to confuse some crooks that he's on their side so that he can get into their organisation and carry out his terrible revenge plan. Barry Newman is terrific as the hero, in a role similar to his Vanishing Point character. John Vernon is a mean villain, too, and Dolph Sweet has a short but pivotal role as a friendly insider. It's impossible to guess what will happen next, but the final scene brings everything together brilliantly, and leaves you quite literally gasping for air. See this soon!!

A superb bit of nostalgia !!

It's aged well. I hadn't seen it in 30 years but thoroughly enjoyed this movie. A very youthful Ben Kingsley and Suzie Kendal support Barry Newman in one of his best known roles.Good story by Alastair Maclean and screenplay is well crafted to give a satisfying 90 minutes entertainment.
