San Francisco ChronicleBob StraussApr 25, 2023
Funny, heart-tugging, intermittently awesome and a loving if ambivalent homage to the heyday of martial arts cinema, writer-director Larry Yang’s film may not blend tones as seamlessly as Chan’s best work from the 1980s and ’90s did. But “Ride On” is moving and thrilling enough to be a worthy capper to the Chan canon. Read full review

Screen DailyJohn BerraApr 25, 2023
It’s rather meta since the backstory riffs on the star’s life and reputation, yet Yang gives the proceedings cross-generational family appeal through focusing on the protagonist’s deep bond with his steed. Read full review

VarietyJessica KiangApr 25, 2023
A sappy but enjoyable slice of family fun that has a nice horse doing wacky tricks for the younger viewers and for parents and older fans, is a gently meta, valedictory canter through the paddock of Chan’s previous achievements. Read full review

The GuardianPhil HoadApr 9, 2023
The 68-year-old Chan slips down off Red Hare like a limber teenager. But horse aside, he largely retreads old ground here, with a handful of shambolic dustups that, apart from the enterprising use of a wicker rocking chair, are pretty standard Jackie. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreApr 25, 2023
Take Ride On for what it is, Chan’s attempt at a graceful bow to the inevitable, and an affectionate remembrance of all the crazy stuff he’s done, the risks he’s taken and the bruises and broken bones he’s suffered when dangerous stunts go dangerously wrong. Read full review

RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsApr 25, 2023
Ride On isn’t a generic beat-em-up but a stingy elegy to a bygone era of filmmaking and an unbelievable melodrama about an older artist and his estranged daughter. A lot of emotional baggage is attached to Ride On, and very little of it gets unpacked. Read full review

The New York TimesBrandon YuApr 21, 2023
The film is so graceless and bizarre in its attempts at tugging at the viewer’s emotions that it often feels like a work of parody. Read full review
