In End of the Road, Shelton transforms an already compelling script into one about family, motherhood, and survival. And it is nothing short of entertaining and refreshing. Read full review

End of the Road was produced for maybe 10% of the budget allotted for the big, bloated, star-studded Netflix thrillers “The Gray Man” and “Red Notice” (both reportedly cost some $200 million to make), and it doesn’t come close to approaching the glamour value, breathtaking location shots and epic action sequences of those two films — but it’s better at executing its mission, which is to immerse us in 90 minutes of old-fashioned bloody vigilante satisfaction.

Ian Spelling

Director Millicent Shelton, a veteran of dozens of music videos and television shows (including two episodes of Latifah’s series Star), wisely builds tension while exploring their family dynamic, and then stomps on the gas to bring it all home. Read full review

The action is clumsy. The writing leans on tropes. The dramatic scenes overestimate the artistic range of a charming rapper-turned-actor like Bridges. And director Millicent Shelton makes some curious stylistic decisions along the way, whether it’s amethyst lighting or montages that have the feel of a R&B music video. Read full review

The Freemans’ minivan is moving 35 miles per hour, max, in every scene set in the car. They needed a lot more horsepower in order to convey a sense of urgency and thrill, and I’m not just talking about the van. Read full review

Director and cast do their best — well, maybe not their best, but their competent professional duty — with a formulaic, contrived screenplay. Still, the results do no one much credit, landing closer to overripe cheese than taut suspense, or even guilty-pleasure terrain. Read full review

Queen Latifah and Ludacris drive right into a brick wall of action cliches. Read full review

Haters hating are so lame. Grow TF up. You have to be a straight-up racist if you don't like this movie. Its Queen Latifa for f sake. It's fun, adventurous & hilarious. It's also shot beautifully, in a gorgeous location, in New Mexico. Visually stunning! Well written and thrilling.

Ah, I wanted to like this. It tries, but 'End of the Road' isn't something I'd wanna revisit in a great hurry.

Queen Latifah and Chris Bridges (aka Ludacris) are the film's only real positive, though I will say the change in directon of the story did fool me... so kudos for that. I actuallyAh, I wanted to like this. It tries, but 'End of the Road' isn't something I'd wanna revisit in a great hurry.

I actually think the twist makes the story weaker, but still. I found the pacing and dialogue to be off, it does attempt heart with the main characters but sadly it just doesn't come across as natural.

You could do worse, but this one fell unfortunately flat for me.… Expand
