An odd movie with a BEAUTIFUL new '72 Peterbilt truck and Dave Dudley music.
10 March 1999
This is an odd movie to say the least. There is not much of a plot but, I really like this movie. I think Alan Arkin is a very good actor even if his character does not have much depth except for being a little crazy. They got most of the technical parts right except for a couple. The main thing that caught my eye is that in the beginning of the movie it starts by the bad guys hi-jacking a older mi-60's needle nose Peterbilt that has little chrome or polished aluminum. When the hi-jackers repaint the truck it rolls out of the shop a brand new '72 Peterbilt. I think the truck is the star of the movie. The reason I like it so much is that it is very similar to a truck my grandpa owned from 1070-78. This movie also shows some beautiful country throughout it and it includes many songs by Dave Dudley. Unless you love trucks as much as I do you probably won't care much for this movie. I wish I had a home video of it but I don't think it was ever released.
