This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know, I found it pretty boring and that isn't because it has a slow pace but rather drawn-out scenes; the film on itself is pretty unbalanced, having a horrible kill scene at the beginning only to delve into a pretty cliché story without really doing anything interesting with it. Furthermore, the characters don't make any sense of their actions and the way that the main conflict gets resolved could be seen coming from a mile away.

I don't think this film is worth your time; despite the good performances from the leads and some unexpected twists, there isn't really anything worthwhile.… Expand

Ride or Die is basically an erotic drama / thriller.
A kind of Thelma & Louise, where the romance - if I can call it that way - is completely explored, and is very raw, primal and initially violent.
Like the other film I just saw today, RideRide or Die is basically an erotic drama / thriller.
A kind of Thelma & Louise, where the romance - if I can call it that way - is completely explored, and is very raw, primal and initially violent.

Like the other film I just saw today, Ride or Die is also based on a manga.
A completely adult manga from what I understand, and if you watch the movie you will know what I mean.

Although the beginning of the story doesn't really address explanations about the violent event that ends up being the catalyst for this story, it's fair to admit that when this is revealed, one cannot help but think how it was that what initially only seemed like an implicit act, caused another person to decided to shed blood for her lover, and at the same risk everything for it.

What follows doesn't justify the excessive length, because while it's attractive to try to discover where the thing is heading while tensions simmer, the script doesn't fill in the gaps with scenes that provide something truly substantial, but despite the drops in the pace, this in my opinion never became harmful.
However, it's still necessary to mention that it was necessary to know where to cut.

The ending, like all the journey, unequivocally provokes wondering if there was no other way for the protagonists, because the ending is harshly distressing for one, while the other apparently has accepted with resignation what follows.

There is no catharsis, at least not as far as I can see, and of course there's no happy ending, but perhaps the conclusion is not rooted on trying to get them one, nor is it accepting that irrationalities have been committed as an expression of love.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the emotional Rei, the complicated love story between her and her girlfriend from the past. I like what she ready to do anything for love. The plot moves very slowly, but its intriguing and you really care about the characters. I dont like ending of the movie, i think it could end with a situation where they hide in the unknown what will happen next. And also the plot of history looks illogical, they could just steal some money from this man and run away instead of killing him.… Expand

Well, the movie is not bad,but it can be better. It is somewhat long but leaving all that aside, it covers several topics, such as toxic relationships, the LGBT + community and obsession.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you would only look at the cinematography it could be a big meh. But when you look beyond it, it is really great. The emotions, the acting, the lines, and the whole scenario itself is really great. The tragic outcome of loving someone so deep thatbyou are willing to commit anything.... even if it means murder.… Expand
