Critics Consensus

Collide wastes a talented cast on a would-be thriller fatally undermined by eye-rolling dialogue, logical fallacies, and humdrum set pieces.

Marc Savlov

Austin Chronicle

In the end, Collide is a cheap genre product produced with an eye on foreign market box office. Wake me when Dominic Toretto torques his way into Havana.

Rated: 1/5

The Hollywood Reporter

Hoult and Jones are unable to breathe much life into their bland characters, and it's ultimately sad to watch the former Hannibal Lecter and Gandhi reduced to playing silly, tough-guy caricatures.

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky

AV Club

Unexceptional, a hodgepodge of corny voice-over and repetitive, anticlimactic plotting, with Hoult and Jones miscast as a couple of party-hardy American expats.

Rated: C

Marie Claire

With tricky flashbacks and dodgy accents throwing sand in the engine, this car-chase thriller stutters and sputters a fair bit before it gets going. Yet when Hoult's fugitive hero hits the autobahn, the movie delivers an exhilarating turn of speed.

Its big problem relies in its initial approach, as silly as implausible. [Full Review in Spanish]

If you're in the mood for some mindless action built around a threadbare plot, then Collide fits the bill. Otherwise, you're very likely to find this film downright disappointing.

I'm giving this film a decent rating for one reason: the writing. The director, however, failed it. Overuse of red lighting and a grainy, faux-VHS aesthetic dragged it down unnecessarily. It was overcomplicated astetically with sub par acting.

I'm really sorry but I can't understand the negative reviews for this movie. Sure, it's not Citizen Kane but what is (apart from Citizen Kane)? This is a terrific action movie with a great cast. So good to see Sir Anthony and Sir Ben chewing the scenery, and Nicholas Hoult and Felicity Jones are terrific. Turn your brains off and enjoy!!

The main reason it's got such a low score is because there's so many cheats in it so it lesses it as a decent above average film. Had it had a more honest and better director it could have achieved 4 glorious stars.

Really a surprise hit. Ben Kingsley playing such a funny character in this movie. Good action movie with awesome scenery from Cologne Germany. Great movie to watch with a buddy when the wife's are sleeping. 😁

Nicholas Hoult and the action pieces are really top notch and engrossing - worth watching just for that. If you can accept the scaffolding setup around those elements it is very enjoyable and satisfying. However if you want a film that has it all, it doesn't quite work. The chemistry between the characters really seem to lack sparkle and aliveness. Most the talent seem to fade into the background as compared to other films.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
