2/5
"
Hell Ride
comes off as a
Devil's Rejects
reject."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
1/5
"A self-adoring, offensively boring homage to biker movies of the '60s"

"I've never seen a film directed by a penis before. We came close with 1984's
Hardbodies,
but
Hell Ride
appears to have been fully helmed by Larry Bishop's male appendage."

1.5/4
"Not to be confused with the more famous grindhouse biker flicks of a bygone era,
Hell Ride
misses out on that critical sense of freedom on the open road."

"I get tired of forced cleverness and genre deconstructions, and I have little patience for films whose lousiness is their selling point. If you can do a good job of making a bad movie, why not go the extra mile and make a good one?"
Cinematical
Eric D. Snider
3.5/4
"A revenge and biker warfare bonanza that will appeal to the folks who loved masterpieces like "The Warriors" and "Switchblade Sisters"..."
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
2/4
"Nostalgia is a poor foundation for any movie, and the film's visceral pleasures are too limited to effectively compensate for the lack of credible characters or a coherent storyline."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/5
"Anyone who isn't full-throttle fascinated with outlaw biker culture and coasting on their hazy memories of motorcycle-gang flicks of the past will probably realize early on, as I did, that Hell Ride is running on fumes without a real destination in mind."
Cinematical
James Rocchi

"It's got more gunplay than your local post office, enough close-ups of the female posterior to make Sir Mix-a-Lot blush, and so many dirty words it'll likely be banned before you finish reading this sentence."
MTV

"The sad fact is, Madsen riding a chopper is cooler than the sight of Hopper in a suede fringed jacket, proof that you can't go home again."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
1.5/4
"Both dull and pretentious."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
1/4
"The second wave of fawning Tarantino imitators commences with
Hell Ride
, a wannabe badass biker flick that plays like a
Kill Bill
-
Death Proof
hybrid minus the genre-deconstruction angle."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
""Hell Ride" is so bad that if I were forced to choose between seeing it again or seeing my worst nightmare version of what "Wild Hogs 2" might entail, I am fairly certain that I would select the latter without a moment's hesitation."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
2/5
"There's always something to be said for bare boobs and pointless violence, but the flick wears out its welcome long before it reaches the finish line."
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
"It has the look of an ambitious made-for-DVD production inexplicably given a theatrical release."
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
4/10
"Having a properly slimy bit of modern exploitation filmmaking isn't something to scoff at, but I do wish that the experience had even a bit of fizz to it."
