"Ride" is a film overstuffed with themes, ideas, and characters, but it works because it's made with the kind of urgency that comes from a filmmaker who has to tell this story and get it out on celluloid right now, or they'll bust.

Rated: 3/4

Variety

C. Thomas Howell and Forrie J. Smith give stand-out performances in director and star Jake Allyn’s suspenseful indie production.

Allyn’s ambitious, tough drama serves up uncompromising Texas grit in every scene, and as actor, co-writer and director, he keeps us riveted on all fronts for nearly two hours.

Rated: 3/4

... a compelling, poignant, and insightful drama with the kind of tough-minded truthfulness that can only come from the heart.

The whole "what happens when bad things happen to good people" theme had me fascinated from the start.

Rated: 7/10

Unfortunately, this slower pace doesn’t lead to nuance, and by the end of the movie, the viewer will feel by the closing scenes that Ride wasn’t entirely worth the journey.

Rated: 3/5

Was the story original- no! there have been countless stories of Rodeos, drug addicts, strained family relationships, small town etc etc. There was nothing new in the story. Let's talk performance- senior actors save the show a bit, Ladies did a good job. The Lead, no comments. This film is a very good effort but sadly a total waste.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

I honestly think this is a great movie and teaches people to be careful who you hang out with or you will probably end up like them. The story was solid and the acting is very good! Pony Boy (C. Thomas Howell) Still Rocks!!!
