Convoy

Many, especially those who think they have THE only perfect taste in movies, loves to slag on the action genre, calling it stupid, dull, good for nothing etc. I couldn't agree less. With that said, I am not a fan... Full review

CONVOY, even after almost 30 years since it was released, remains was it was, an iconic American film by an iconic American director. This movie,which is not short on American archetypes, from Ernest Bornine's vile redneck sheriff "Dirty Lyle," to... Full review

The angry, rebellious mood of the post Watergate 1970s, the CB radio craze, and the romanticized image of Truckers as direct descendants of the American cowboy were made to order for the rebellious gonzo filmmakers out there who were looking... Full review
