Crisply paced but undercut by hard-to-swallow plot contrivances, the movie doesn’t waste much time, taking only about an hour and a quarter to unspool. Read full review

Tapping cleverly into one of the newest perils in urban living, Ride will please most audiences looking for a Friday-night thrill ride. Read full review

All three actors labor to make it work, demonstrating their professional skill sets (Thorne sings, Usher recites Shakespeare) to somewhat admirable effect — even if overall credibility and tension remain elusive. Read full review

Ultimately, Ride feels a little like a drama class exercise, with the leads digging deep into their characters’ motivations and feelings. All three nail their parts. But their story never gets out of first gear. Read full review

Despite valiant effort from the performers — especially Usher, who's onscreen for nearly every scene — this three-hander is no joyride. Read full review

Average but not in a bad way, I mean, there is nothing new here but still, you are to the least not bored by its plot.
