Although this movie happens to choose truck drivers as the main characters and driving force in the plot, the themes of one man against the system and loyalty to co-workers/friends especially in time of need are universal.

The convoy grows and keeps attracting supporters and becomes kind of a national phenomenon, without the movie ever stopping to explain what all these other people are supporting.
It seems like the movie is saying that there’s this huge national wish to rebel, but it never gets around to articulating exactly what everyone is so upset over.

Ok the thing i hated about the original Transformers Movie was not that they killed off the caractors that we came to love in the original series but.
So that by the time you reach the 2nd or 3rd movie and some of the caractors from the 1st movie have died it does not feel they are taking over the movie or replacing the caractors we love.
A good TF movie should be accessible to people with no real knowledge of our favorite bots, but with some extras to reward those who can see them (like Rhinox's cameo in the Armada cartoon).

 Convoy review (1978) Peckinpah - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Convoy is perhaps one of the weirdest of the late Seventies films about truckers and their bouts with authority, with its bewildering storyline and amorphous plotting, and the fact that it treads a very poorly defined line between self-parody and self-importance.
Stranger yet is that they would make a whole movie about C.W. McCall’s country-western song of the same name.
One day Duck and his buddies get harassed and jostled by a corrupt (and racist) sheriff, Lyle (Borgnine, The Trackers), who takes their cash readily, until they get their revenge later at a truck stop in an all-out melee.

 Low expectation: Convoy
My dad is sure to be confused and disappointed when John Singleton’s next movie arrives in theatres.
See, to us, and many other fans of the ‘70s trucker-movie explosion, Convoy is a guilty pleasure of a film from 1978 that Sam Peckinpah directed and Kris Kristofferson starred in.
Anyway, Singleton’s same-titled picture is an action movie about truck drivers in Afghanistan.
