Customer Reviews

A US road movie that helped popularise CB radio in the UK
Convoy is a tale of three truckers who defy a corrupt backwater sheriff and end up becoming a national cause celebre. On the run from the authorities, they cross several states and in doing so gather huge support - eventually leading to a horizon full of trucks in their wake.

The film is watchable and fun at times. It wouldn't win any awards, but it did have a long-lasting social appeal as it played a part in popularising CB radio in the UK (thus ushering in the era of silver rods on every second council house across the land).

The film is peppered with CB jargon. It also has an all star soundtrack - such as Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Billie Jo Spears, Merle Haggard and Glen Campbell (however, in practice, the music is actually low key throughout much of the movie).

Overall, an entertaining 104 minutes. Now where did I leave that Yorkie bar...?

... Breaker out

The lamest Peckinpah in history.
(And to think that i am only reviewing this one so as to get the average down!) Couldn't agree more with Trevor Willsmer's comments about this being Peckinpah's worst movie. You normally expect a great deal more from any "Sam Peckinpah" film. This one is a terrible disappointment, although it seems to have given a lot of pleasure to the other reviewers. Personally, i would buy just about ANY other SP film than this one. The plot is threadbare thin, and i don't know what SP saw in Kris Kristofferson as an actor. (Guess he was okay in "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid", mind.) Avoid this one, unless you're a Peckinpah completist or have time and money to burn.

Just a sub-zero cool film
This is not the film for girls who like the colour pink...but if ur a petrol head who likes huge trucks and wikid fight scenes in a car chase film this is the one for you, this is a genuinely entertaining film from start to finish with some hilarious scenes!! Bargain price!!
