ShangLuda Admirable film.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

dworldeater Convoy is a very flawed, but fun trucker flick from legendary director Sam Peckinpah. This is probably his worst film, but his most commercial and most seen of his work. At this point in his career, it was a low point for Sam as his job as a director. Normally, he made films that he wanted to make and had a passion for. This film, clearly he took to keep working. This is a weak film for Sam and a bad personal time in his life that his cocaine addiction had an effect on his work and overall quality of the film. Convoy is an attempt by the producers to cash in on the success of Smoky And The Bandit with something similar. Based off the country song Convoy, the film is of flimsy source material. Country star and old friend Kris Kristofferson is cast as the lead and while he clearly did his best, at this point did not have the screen presence or acting chops to knock this out of the park. Add the weak chemistry of stunning actress Ali McGraw,to a laundry list of problems to the film. However, Convoy will not go down in history as the greatest film ever made, it is a pretty entertaining and amusing movie. This also attracted Wild Bunch star Ernest Borgnine as Sheriff Lyle Wallace, a great nemesis for our hero The Rubber Duck.(Kristofferson). Essentially, this is a B grade movie with an A list cast and director. Convoy is not the best vehicle to showcase Sam Peckinpah's talents as a director and is very dated, but good,cheesy fun.

Dan THOMAS "I ain't mad, I'm scared to death" This film is seminal, the excitement and influence it has had on small children over the last 30 years cannot be underestimated. It's not for everyone I admit but I'm pushing 40 and I still cannot stop watching it. The lines are classic and the climax is so over the top yet emotional it cannot be underestimated. There is suspense as well as really basic comedy. The direction is actually very slick and it will grip the viewers. There is no deep subliminal plot: a group of truckers try to out run the law. It's brilliant. Kristofferson is a cool calm legend and Bourgnine is every bit the frustrated Sheriff. Less cheesy than Smokey and the Bandit with a belting sound track. This film will make you laugh, cry and cheer. I got the Rocking Chair - Good Buddy!

ma-cortes A rebel trucker (Kris Kristofferson) leads protesting his colleagues on a trek throughout Southwest until Mexico .Other truckers join their convoy as a show of support against brutality and other complaints . Sheriff Wallace (Ernest Borgnine)rallies other law enforcement officers throughout the southwest, they who soon aware that stopping Duck, the face of the now highly public standoff, is not as easy as shooting him and the truck due to his highly explosive cargo . Truckers (Burt Young , Magde Sinclair as Widow woman, among others) on a tri-state protest over police brutality ,form a mile long "convoy" in support of Duck's vengeance with the abusive sheriff . Based on the country song , a real hit , of same title by C.W. McCall.An enjoyable film , ¨ Peckinpah's Convoy ¨results to be an elegiac perspective at the world of the truckers . Taut excitement throughout, beautifully photographed and with spectacular trucks scenes and some images filmed in slow moving. An uneven and silly screenplay by Bill L Norton , subsequently turned to mediocre director . Vibrant and brilliant all star cast with acceptable performances from Burt Young , Seymour Cassel , Cassie Yates , among others. Kris Kristofferson turns in a nice acting as a drifting independent trucker nicknamed ¨Duck¨ who is searching freedom in a changing world , he and Ali MacGraw strike real sparks. Ernest Borgnine is particularly fine as the veteran patrolman .Peckinpah's slow-motion camera , his usual trademark,is put to particularly nice utilization shooting the balletic movement of fights , at once more splendidly and awe-inspiring than any gun battle. Furthermore, it contains a country music emotive score by Chip Davis . Glimmer and colorful cinematography by Harry Stradling Jr ,son of another great cameraman Harry Stradling Sr . Splendidly filmed in Albuquerque,Cerrillos, New Mexico,Cuba, New Mexico,Needles, California ,New Mexico State Fair Grounds ,Central & Louisanna Avenues, Albuquerque,White Sands National Monument, and Alamogordo, New Mexico. An agreeable country-trucker-Western with passable interpretations and exciting trucks footage including some slow-moving images and a much moving , professionally made by the famous director Sam Peckinpah . Sam was a real creator and author of masterpieces as ¨Cross of Iron¨,¨The ballad of Cable Hogue¨, ¨Wild bunch¨ , ¨Major Dundee¨ . ¨Convoy¨ though inferior film is lovely realized by Sam Peckinpah in his punchy directorial style .

trojans7 kris kristofferson plays the rubber duck pitch perfect, you believe he is a trucker you believe people would follower him, either into a fight or on the road. man of few words the Strong silent type a man with a woman in every state.plus a legend for his time. as for convoy what not to like this movie just gets better and better on ever viewing.that may have something to do with my age than the film but still you could not make that today, and i hope they don't.a time cap for the late 70's. convoy is just good clean fun but make by a great man at the end of his career. so get your self a slab of beer and comfy couch and enjoy. "ten four go buddy!"
