When I sat down to watch the 1974 movie "Truck Stop Women" from writer and director Mark L. Lester here in 2023, it was without ever having heard about the movie. So I had no expectations to the movie, nor did I know what I was in for. So in a sense, writer and director Mark L. Lester had every opportunity to impress and entertain me.
However, I have to say that "Truck Stop Women" was a swing and a miss. I saw no point to the storyline, as it felt like a random jumble of events more than anything else. There wasn't really a noticably red thread throughout the course of the 88 minutes that the movie trotted on for.
The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough, I will say that much about "Truck Stop Women". However, I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from Len Lesser and Dennis Fimple. Nor can I say that I was overly impressed with what I witnessed, so I don't feel compelled to venture out and track down more of the movie of those participating in "Truck Stop Women".
"Truck Stop Women" was definitely not my cup of tea, and this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, as the first time around was enough of a struggle to get through.
My rating of "Truck Stop Women" lands on a three out of ten stars.
