Errors in geography: The film is set in the U.S., but in the climactic scenes Toronto's C.N. Tower appears in the middle distance; much too close for any U.S. location, even in New York state. more

The most boring trucker movie, ever, 14 January 2000
2/10
Author: John Seal from Oakland CA

Does anything happen in this movie? Truckers drive, eat in greasy spoons, have some fistfights...the only good part of the movie is Jerry Reed's theme song, which is a weird country fried disco number. Peter Fonda seems to be wearing his Easy Rider castoffs for much of the film, but must have been on downers when he made this craptastic snooze fest. The ending is ludicrous to say the least.
