Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Bellessa’s latest may run out of gas before the finish line, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still worth climbing into the passenger seat and going along for the ride. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com The overall feeling is not true peril but obligatory checking off the “thriller” boxes. Rated: 2/4 Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Andy Klein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I thought it was really tightly done except for at the end. Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com It was a stretch but I still bought it. Rated: 6/10 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Grant Hermanns Screen Rant While the movie may never fully overcome its feeling of familiarity, Panettiere and Williams' performances truly ground us throughout the tense ride. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A taut, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller with a fresh spin on rideshare stories with the integration of a child abduction as a plot driver.

Ricky Fosheim Badass! Exactly what I wanted plus much more. Performances, writing, and direction all seemed confident and polished. Definitely entertained. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Twillea Great Movie. Edge of the the seat most the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Aldis H Exploitative, some off the scale melodramatic back story, and a rather ridiculous villain, but the tension is palpable, and I wasn't bored. That's all I can ask. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Peter F A B+ movie production that exceeded expectations with believable acting and a good plot construction that kept me hooked despite a few plot holes. I liked seeing Panettiere again too now that she's older. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review averell s The only way this plot works is if the police department is inept and the main characters are incompetent. Too many plot holes to stay focused. Acting was phenomenal as was the casting. The mom’s performance was beyond stellar. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good movie, interestingly unique story, but some plot points are a little far fetched. The introduction of the story was a little questionable and unbelievable. The ending was also very in your face. Still a great time and a fun watch. Actors carried a lot, too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
