Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com [A] decidedly undistinguished dirt-racing film. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Johnny Oleksinski New York Post Sure, there's potential for pleasure in an old story done right, but Travolta croaking out a Southern accent as he overplays his outbursts and emotional reconciliations doesn't qualify. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter There's plenty of material here for a reasonably engrossing drama. Somehow, screenwriters Craig R. Welch and Greg Gerani fail to come up with anything remotely interesting. Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media This is an okay, if mostly flat, sports action movie centered on dirt track stock car racing. Rated: 2/5 Aug 2, 2022 Full Review Asher Luberto Film Threat Where are the risks? Where's the family drama? Where's the intrigue? It seems Travolta still remains stuck at the cinematic red light. Rated: 4/10 Aug 9, 2019 Full Review Matthew Roe Film Threat Ultimately, Trading Paint doesn't amount to much more than an easy way to mindlessly kill eighty-nine minutes. Rated: 4/10 Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Alfie M TRADING PAINT is overall pretty predicable (as usual in these direct to videos films), but fun is to be had with Trading Paint, it's engaging enough, Travolta (all I need in a film) and overall it's just fun. I found the aesthetic of the small town very comforting, Kevin Dunn and Travolta have a nice relationship on-screen. It's not perfect though, the acting from the extras and side cast are poor, it's very predictable and the writing material is basic. It doesn't outstay it's welcome so it makes it a short but fun flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Liam D While Travolta puts more effort into his performance than most of his straight to VOD peers but it’s an dull racing movie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Deepest Bluest Suede Darius Dick Stinger Apini Emanuel Grouch Nukem III AKA The Rumble AKA Jennyanyany McPoopface Bridgerton AKA The Count of Monte Fisto Might be the dumbest plot in movie history, but at least Travolta is ass off as always. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Tony S Shocking. I'm a Dirt Late Model Driver, there is so much wrong with this movie, while I was reading the credits, in my mind I was expecting and waiting for an apology from John Travolta! The story was ok, but the was the cars and the racing was portrayed was terrible! For a start you don't change gears in a Late Model! I really feel I'm owed an apology from John Travolta, this is in my top five worst films of all time, it's probably number 3 or 4! It's an embarrassment to film making! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/06/23 Full Review John B I thought it was good overall as it was a racing movie with Travolta & Shania Twain as the main celebrities plus the story was interesting. It just felt sluggish in places and not as exciting as it could have been Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/22 Full Review Audience Member typical plot. mediocre writing and acting. only a few glimpses of Travolta's real talent . don't waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/22 Full Review Read all reviews
