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.

I thought it was really tightly done except for at the end.

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.

For a movie I never heard of until I saw it on Hulu, it's not bad. It's definitely a B movie but it has a few suspenseful moments.

Not sure I've just seen the same movie some of the 'Top Critcs', have watched? This was one of the most infuriating films in a long time. There were too many, "Why don't they just..."or "I can't believe they didn't..."moments for me to consider it worthy on any level. One and a half hours of my life lost - how did they get this funded?

One of the worst movies I’ve ever watched. The acting is horrid, the writing atrocious and a wasted 1.5hrs of my time.

There are some fresh faces on the cast here, other than Kevin Dunn, but they do a good job and overall this was a solid thriller!
