About
If you want loud, outlaw-road fun fueled by CB chatter and a swelling convoy, Convoy may hit—Not for you if you dislike messy pacing or need tightly crafted storytelling, and it’s not as straightforward as Smokey and the Bandit.
Pros: CB radio energy; big convoy spectacle; memorable trucker vibe | Cons: weak or messy story; uneven performances; long runtime
