Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times The Learning Curve may not offer anything new, but it has terrific vitality. Rated: 2.5/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Scott Von Doviak Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sets an intriguing low-key thriller into motion, then proceeds to resolve it in the most uninspired way possible. Rated: 2.5/4 May 29, 2024 Full Review Jane Sumner Dallas Morning News Oh, that script by Mr. Schwab! As Cajun comic Justin Wilson says, 'He doesn't miss one damn inch of that road.' May 29, 2024 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com One of the cooler things about being required to watch lots of movies "sight unseen" is that occasionally something unexpectedly entertaining pops up. Rated: 3.5/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Dragan Antulov Draxblog Movie Reviews Uncharacteristically ambitious aims for a film that otherwise looks like nothing more than cheap exploitation thriller. Rated: 4/10 May 29, 2024 Full Review Ryan Cracknell Apollo Guide Good, flashy visuals, but writer/ director Eric Schwab still has a long way to go in applying a strong story with characters that matter. Rated: 56/100 May 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
