Critics Consensus

It starts with an interesting premise and Paul Walker is as handsomely brooding as ever, but Vehicle 19's incoherently shot action sequences make it a poor substitute for his work in the Fast & Furious movies.

Neither particularly fast nor furious.

Vehicle 19 sets up a fascinating conceit for itself, and then loses interest in delivering on it. It just wants to get to the cool car chase, but by the time it does, we've stopped caring.

2/5

Mr. Walker's character is haunted by a troubled past, but the film would have been better if it had given him more to do in the present.

1.5/4

The degree to which Vehicle 19 flounders and ultimately fails is, to put it mildly, rather disappointing...

neither Walker nor the script can keep your interest for the duration, with action set pieces and intrusive music overpowering what should have been a claustrophobic and tense experience

The script is overwhelmed by cliches and implausibilities.

Paul walker is great in all his movies! He's a great actor, so he did admit in one of his interviews that he actually like it better driving in the right hand side of the car lol , god created a beautiful soul in that man , he always wanted to do the right thing no matter what ! In this movie he's trying so hard to do the right thing but he keeps getting caught up in constant problems just like we do in life ! Obviously this movie after his untimely death in 2013 , give him--- The best rating you can ! Remain Blessed

This is not a good way for killing Paul Walker.

Entertaining enough. Always felt Paul Walker went all in on each role. Cool settings in South Africa.

Paul Walker has co just arrived in Johannesburg to meet up with his ex wife for a possible reconciliation when things go decidedly wrong when the rental vehicle he acquires already comes equipped with a hidden hostage and weapon. This is a pretty decent thriller, although he's not nearly as fast in this one, but he doubles up on the furious. Worth a look.

Surprisingly slow and dull, without a good sense of tension. Just a bunch of weird and creepy street people in Africa. It's strongest point was that it was under 90 minutes so there wasn't much longing for it to end.

Got about 10 minutes in. The lead is incompetent. Never been in Sth Africa so just gets in a car and starts driving without having a clue where to go. Drops food, spills drink, tries to "read" a map. Pathetic.
