Not much to it at all. The tension building doesn't really work, as the story continuously hits the same repetitive story beats

Spielberg's debut is certainly one of his best. A very tense film based on a great concept (but voice-over should have been left out).

Good enough for a TV movie and for Spielberg's debut. It's not until an hour in when it actually starts being fun though, and even then it's fleeting. Lots of excess that could be trimmed off.

Despite the clunky internal monologue (the film does not need it) and the music, which at times blatantly rips off Herrmann's 'Psycho' score, this is a masterpiece of cinema as suspense. The truck is one of the great movie villains. This is simple and perhaps more importantly refined cinema that rewards the viewer more than most films.

Film made for TV, but feels like cinema. A simple and engaging film, masterfully directed by a young Spielberg. Duel is a fantastic nail-biter for thriller. Bravo!

This magnificently simple film is kind of Spielberg's directorial debut ... it's a TV movie, and he had only directed TV series work before this, and this was released theatrically in Europe ... and it's a remarkably effective piece of work. It's pacing is flawless and it keeps up the suspense throughout. A lot of the credit belongs to Richard Matheson who's screenplay avries the circumstances enough to avoid monotony. This is effectively the audition reel for "Jaws".

The truck has more personality than a lot of the slasher villains. Not as much personality as that truck from Maximum Overdrive though. Instead of AC/DC blasting throughout, there's an excellent minimalist score from Billy Goldenberg. Evidently Spielberg cut half of the scripted lines. This from guy who had Daniel Day Lewis look directly into the camera and say, "I'm Lincoln, bitch." although I might remember that wrong.

Top badass moment? “You can't beat me on the grade!” As I frequently drive automatic, 3.5t vans limited to the same speed as most lorries, this is my battle cry of choice when dealing with them; (especially along the A34 through Oxfordshire, which has a lot of hills). I reckon I can best about 95%, given enough dual carriageway. Unfortunately, the other 5% make me feel I'm more inadequate than David Mann, such is the humiliation of being overtaken by one. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Spielberg does a lot with nothing, and creates an extremely unique and memorable cinema villain in The Truck. I just wish he'd spent a little more time giving our protagonist a couple of likeable qualities.

Depending on how you look at it, there's no drama to this, or alternatively, it's all in the subtext. Either way this is a pure, pared-down thriller movie that is just incredibly effective, and serves as an early testament to Spielberg's natural filmmaking ability. Kind of a mini classic.
