BITRATE:
AVG: 1865, Max: 2496
TAGLINE:
"Kristofferson and MacGraw...ain't nothin' gonna
get in their way! "
CAST:
Kris Kristofferson.... Rubber Duck aka Martin Penwald
Ali MacGraw....Melissa
Ernest Borgnine.... Sheriff 'Dirty Lyle' Lyle Wallace aka Cottonmouth
Burt Young....Pig Pen/Love Machine
Etc.
PLOT:
Convoy is the shallowest of Sam Peckinpah's films, but
by no means the worst. It contains some oddball characters
and a number of memorable sequences, and alternately funny
and thought-provoking dialogue. It also features one of the
very best Ernest Borgnine performances that I can remember
- not bad for a man who won an Oscar for Marty!
The story traces the fortunes of some truckers, led by
"Rubber Duck" (Kris Kristofferson), as they drive through
the states of New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. They are pursued
by the law, and gradually more and more truckers join on at
the back of the line until they have literally hundreds of
lorries, all roaring along the highways in protest of the
prejudicial treatment they receive from the cops.
Kristofferson is supremely enigmatic as the leader of the pack.
Ali MacGraw is a bit of a bore as his female companion.
As mentioned before, the real star is Borgnine, mean and
menacing, funny and cruel as the cop who dedicates his life
to victimising truck drivers. For such a shallow film, it looks
and sounds beautiful. Even the car chase through the sand is
poetic.
I can't explain what's good about this picture. It sounds dull
and pointless, yet to watch it is a thoroughly enjoyable
experience. Convoy is a contradiction of itself.... plotless,
pointless, thinly plotted, and yet still (somehow)
a top notch film!
ADDITIONAL NOTES
CLSVCD did this a long time ago, but not the CE
so here we bring u this semi-internal.
You need to enable overburn on cd2.
Watch this movie with a couple of friends
and a round of beers. Whenever the expression
10-4 is mentioned, you drink :)
