Woah. Okay, I know this movie is supposed to be terrible, apparently. Claim whatever you want about it, but I had a blast with this. Maybe I'm just a sucker for these truckin movies...

For a kid that wanted nothing else than to be a trucker, Convoy was the ultimate film back in the 80s.

I think this is one of the classics of 70s cinema. Not a must-see but a classic nonetheless. It's not perfect by an means. The first half leans more towards a comedy while the second becomes more serious. And Ali McGraw, well, she's not cutting it. What I really love are all the stunts that are real and therefore still look great. Like I said, great movie where the important issue unfortunately get's somewhat lost in between.

Ernest Borgnine turns in quite a good effort as the savvy, but crooked, sheriff "Lyle" who finally pushes trucker "Rubber Duck More

When I impulsively added this seemingly obscure trucker film to my watchlist,\* I had no idea it would turn out to touch on the civil issues of today's America. In the era of #DefundThePolice, this blast from the past seems a pointed commentary on the same police issues—overuse of force, abuse More
