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

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

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

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.

Badass! Exactly what I wanted plus much more. Performances, writing, and direction all seemed confident and polished. Definitely entertained.

Promising start although quite a slow film. With such a good cast I was surprised how wooden and unemotional the acting was although I was intrigued enough to find out how it would end. I wish I hadn't bothered as the ending was so rushed, so sudden and without any real satisfaction. My advice would be, find a better way to waste 90 minutes and give this one a miss.

I understand the movie was a dedicated to awareness for the amber alert but only the unlucky few that finished the film got to see the tribute at the end. The whole movie consisted of a car chase with the self appointed detectives who were insufferable throughout the whole thing. I really thought the acting would be promising given the main character’s long acting careers and then they opened their mouth and I knew it was gonna be a long 90 minutes. The premise was quite interesting and different but really unrealistic I’m not from America but you’re telling me they came face to face with the kidnapper proceeded to follow him on an empty road and 0 shots were fired.. anyway just really disappointed I expected more and had to skip to the ending just to take me out of my misery.

Bad acting , and quite annoying . Why didn’t the black guy take control and tackle the driver etc ! So frustrating watching the movie as like when she gets out of the taxi to see who’s inside the car when the guy stops for petrol ???? Etc etc etc Also why is the white guy always the baddy ?
