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. Go to Full Review

The overall feeling is not true peril but obligatory checking off the “thriller” boxes. Go to Full Review

I thought it was really tightly done except for at the end. Go to Full Review

While the movie may never fully overcome its feeling of familiarity, Panettiere and Williams' performances truly ground us throughout the tense ride. Go to Full Review
Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 10/04/2024
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. Go to Full Review

Ricky Fosheim 09/29/2024 Badass! Exactly what I wanted plus much more. Performances, writing, and direction all seemed confident and polished. Definitely entertained. See more Twillea 09/28/2024 Great Movie. Edge of the the seat most the movie. See more @movie123617 6d One of the worst movies i’ve watched in a long time . I had to google reviews to make sure i wasn’t going crazy . Acting was horrible too See more Alex H. @Alexh11 Dec 3 I know Kerry because my dad is friends with him, and he’s a super cool guy, and made an ever cooler movie with a good cast on a cheaper budget. Amber alert is worth watching. See more Ben W Nov 29 Acting not great, story not believable. For a thriller it’s actually quite boring. See more Neil P Nov 24 A movie that begins promisingly but deteriorates needlessly. Suspecting a car driver of being a child abductor two people follow him into a petrol station. The obvious thing to do is to approach his car as soon as he disappears into the shop, and to approach on the far side. But no, for the sake of tension (?) they approach at the near side, in plain view, walking like someone trying to hide. Even more baffling is that America suddenly seems unable to communicate with cops in cars and so no one comes to the aid of our samaritans despite them being in touch with the the police while following the suspect. For me it's just more evidence that we live in a world where intelligence has become unpopular. Film makers are either not very clever or assume their audience isn't. Very disappointing.
