It&#8217;s well made and colorfully filmed, with plenty (plenty) of chases, pile-ups, fights, and fiery crashes to enjoy (if that&#8217;s your thing), as well as some some get-back-at-the-cops action. For better or for worse, there&#8217;s a pretty clear line drawn in this film between the good guys, the bad and\/or troubled folks, and the in-between guys (and gals) &#8212; and it&#8217;s fairly satisfying seeing the outcomes fall neatly in line, especially for the most sympathetic protagonists, who &#8220;do the right thing&#8221; time and again. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski-1024x574.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-60119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski-1536x862.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski-481x270.png 481w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-Balaski.png 1831w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a fun overview of many of the cars in this film, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190414020012\/http:\/\/imcdb.org\/movie_74279-Cannonball.html\">click here<\/a> [archived web page].  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A well-crafted car racing adventure<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-1024x568.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-60106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-1024x568.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-1536x852.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-487x270.png 487w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine-1038x576.png 1038w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Carradine.png 1833w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography-1024x574.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-60104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography-1536x860.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography-482x270.png 482w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cannonball-Cinematography.png 1837w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
