- Critics' reviews

-
"One good thing B-grade trucker movies have is a quality we can call non-intellectual honesty. As a rule, they have no pretentions to do anything other than amuse the viewer. Peckinpah tries to do more and fails"
-
"The narrative goes a bit over the top in the second half, but it's after a large dose of the best kind of escapist good humour."
-
"[It] is not merely a bad movie, but a terrible movie. Anyone can make a bad movie--only a misguided talent can manage to be terrible."
-
"Kristofferson's performance is as monotone as his singing, showing few changes in dramatic emphasis. Unmotivated story riddled with confusion and disarray."
-
"Sam Peckinpah's happy-go-lucky ode to the truckers on the road--a sunny, enjoyable picture."
-
"When a director as gifted, personal and eccentric as Peckinpah makes a film as gaseous and ludicrous as this, the temptation is to laugh, but the spectacle of his continuing skid is a sad one"
