Bellessa’s latest may run out of gas before the finish line, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still worth climbing into the passenger seat and going along for the ride.

Rated: 2.5/4

The overall feeling is not true peril but obligatory checking off the “thriller” boxes.

Rated: 2/4

Screen Rant

While the movie may never fully overcome its feeling of familiarity, Panettiere and Williams' performances truly ground us throughout the tense ride.

Rated: 2.5/5

Behind The Lens

A taut, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller with a fresh spin on rideshare stories with the integration of a child abduction as a plot driver.

Ricky Fosheim Badass! Exactly what I wanted plus much more. Performances, writing, and direction all seemed confident and polished. Definitely entertained. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Twillea Great Movie. Edge of the the seat most the movie. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Audience Member not so bad for a kidnapping film, was entertaining enough, also Hayden and Tyler on it together pure nostalgia Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Noah A This was an excellent movie, had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire thing, hayden and tyler killed it. i reckon it definetely should have gotten better reviews than it did bc it was really good. id give it at least a 90% Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Garry A For a movie I never heard of until I saw it on Hulu, it's not bad. It's definitely a B movie but it has a few suspenseful moments. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Litz B Not sure I've just seen the same movie some of the 'Top Critcs', have watched? This was one of the most infuriating films in a long time. There were too many, "Why don't they just..."or "I can't believe they didn't..."moments for me to consider it worthy on any level. One and a half hours of my life lost - how did they get this funded? Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
