NIGHTRIDE is a wry, real-time one-shot thriller set on the midnight streets of Belfast. It places us in the driver's seat with smalltime dealer Budge as he tries to pull one last deal with cash borrowed from a dangerous loan shark. When the handover goes catastrophically wrong, Budge finds himself in a race against time to find his missing product and get a new buyer before the loan shark tracks him down.

The plot of “Nightride” is little more than an assembly of stock types...

Guardian

Stephen Fingleton, who made an impression with his own 2015 debut The Survivalist, directs it with some elan.

Rated: 3/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Nightride is an unforgettable drive. Taking the one-shot concept to an extreme, this isn’t just a remarkable display of filmmaking. It is a powerful, emotive story that leaves your nerves shot by the time the credits roll.

Rated: 9/10

Culture Mix

Not too many movies can make a lively thriller out of a story that's mostly a series of phone calls, but Nightride succeeds in doing so. The movie overcomes some crime drama clichés with a riveting lead performance by Moe Dunford.

Film Threat

The filmmaker does a lot with a little, and for that, he deserves major credit. Here’s hoping his next cinematic endeavor will favor substance over style.

Rated: 6/10
