Critics Consensus

An action thriller that's neither action-packed nor thrilling, End of the Road wastes a pair of perfectly good stars on a bottom-of-the-barrel story.

Audience Says

Queen Latifah and Ludacris could make perfect co-stars in the right movie, but End of the Road isn't it.

Queen Latifah and Ludacris drive right into a brick wall of action clichés.

One of the reasons we get not just one but four final black people is because in End of the Road, community is the heart of the story.

AV Club

Delivers pretty much everything you want from an action thriller, and it benefits from a most unexpected and welcome element: characters you care about.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

In what is supposed to be a high-octane action-thriller, End of the Road does not deliver much of action or thrills promised.

Rated: 5/10

The Star (Kenya)

The plot is so straightforward that a viewer can predict the ending just several minutes in.

Rated: 2/5

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Get Out, the defining 21st-century Black horror film, is ostensibly about white supremacy in the Obama age. The End of the Road is the follow-up; because it's dealing with a different kind of beast...

It was fine for a Netflix 90 minute movie. Not great, not horrible. Queen Latifah is charming to watch in my opinion and makes it worth a watch.

Although I love the main actress… the movie was filled with illogical plot choices. Also bad medical advice. Never pull the knife out till you have a tourniquet on or are at an Emergency Room. Even then the wound needs to be treated for possible infection. Ludacris would be possible slowly dying at the end due to either bleeding out or infection and given that Queen Latifah was supposed to be an ER nurse, she would have known that.

I thought the movie was super funny, because It was so bad my mom and I were laughing our heads off when he flys through the windshield and slams into the tree

That was a bottom of the barrel script. Predictable and ridiculous. What a waste of talent.
