Road Movie

Unforgettable

On the surface there&apos;s not much to &quot;Road Movie&quot;. Two loser truck drivers pick up a lot lizard and that&apos;s where the fun begins. The girl has gangster ties and ends up getting the boys into a lot of trouble...

But the intense mood of this gritty film marks it as different from the rest of the pack. I still think it&apos;s one of the most realistic films ever made. There&apos;s very few light-hearted scenes and the movie borders on claustrophobic; though the scenery is ever-changing you&apos;re drawn into the world inside the truck- everything else is just an obstacle in the way of making a dollar.

As a Class A driver I recommend this film as almost required viewing for anyone planning on getting into the world of trucking. For anyone that thinks life on the road is more like &quot;Smokey and the Bandit&quot; then watch this film. Though some minor things have changed since then a great majority of what still goes on is exactly like it&apos;s depicted in the film.

This is one of those films that you watch every five or ten years. Any more then that would probably make you hate it (the sheer bleakness of the picture leaves you little alternative). But once you do see it, you&apos;ll never forget it.

They also have to pay off highway cops when their rigs are overweight and bank loans but consider themselves lucky just to be able to keep up the interest payments. Add to that a small, frizzy-wigged highway hooker named Janice, who tempts them with her lurid charms.
