Tim M @tgmacman May 14 While as energetic as the same-titled song that inspired it, Convoy's wheels fall off when it comes to natural storytelling. See more DeWayne B Feb 1 Not really funny, not really suspenseful, and as for its trying to send a message? Far too pretentious for the meager offerings presented. See more Blu B Jan 16 The soundtrack is good especially the chessy but catchy title track. Nothing else is as memorable as that though but well used. Everything else isn't half bad but considering the director it's somewhat of a dissappointment. This can't decide if it wants to be a counter culture movie with serious commentary about truckers or a Fast & Furious movie with 18 wheelers and the result is a mix of both. The first half is the better film but the second is more entertaining but just gets ridiuclous. There basically superheroes with trucks. The girl has no character, the other truckers really don't have anything that seperates them, and it feels like the plot just throws stuff at you that get more and more farfetched. The action scenes are good though and pretty cool but this just starts to get completely mindless and exploitative with trucks basically. It felt like it wanted to be a counter culture road movie kind of but just completely changes in the second half. If your a big fan of vehicle flicks like the Fast & Furious or a big fan of any actors in this maybe check this out. But most could skip this. See more Cees T Jan 12 Watch Killdozer for more deserving terrorism, Repo Chick for more comedy, and Road House (1989) for both. 1/10 - Terrible. See more 10/01/2024 As a film of the 70's (remember all those Villains v Cops trucks and car chase films and shows?) akin to Cannonball Run, Smokey and The Bandit, Movin' On, BJ and The Bear and so on - heck even Bond got in on the act - it's a pretty good film and a bit deeper than the rest. Racial prejudice, political agendas and so on were there although not explored too deeply after all it was more a light entertainment / comedy film. For anyone who's a fan of trucks, was a CB radio enthusiast or just enjoys a good old chase movie it has all you could want. It's very much a film of the 70's for people who were alive then but that's no bad thing - the stunts are all real and thankfully so are the people unlike the fake plastic heroes of films today. See more ROBS T 09/30/2024 I first saw this when it released at the cinema, It was an awesome film then and still is to this day, I don't expect the younger ones to think the same due to the times we now live in.
