There are still a few signs of Sam Peckinpah's former authority: the crisp color, the flashy but superficial use of cross-cutting and slow-motion, and one particularly photogenic chase over powdery, unpaved roads. Otherwise, the big-name director is reduced to little more than a glorified traffic cop in this banal interpretation of C.W. McCall's phantasmagorical pop song. Kris Kristofferson is cruelly miscast as a two-fisted trucker with a flower-stem physique and Noxzema-smooth skin, and Ali MacGraw is brought back to the screen after a five-year absence spent, evidently, in the acquisition of a luxurious suntan. With Burt Young, Franklyn Ajaye, and Ernest Borgnine. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
