Leave your thoughts about Joy Ride.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleTurns out to be the most unnerving film of the year. Easy. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonClimb into this rig and you'll be sweating bullets. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversIf you're looking to have your nerves fried and your pulse pounded, this is your ticket to ride. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasTerrific escapist fare, stylish, outrageous and compelling. |
| Village VoiceJessica WinterRedoubtably hilarious as always, Zahn also lends his character unpredictable flashes of anger, pathos, and faint psychosis, even when the movie jumps the median from ticklishly discomfiting black comedy into by-the-numbers horror jolts. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThere is a kind of horror movie that plays so convincingly we don't realize it's an exercise in pure style. ''Halloween'' is an example, and John Dahl's Joy Ride is another. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanSkillfully crafted, flawlessly paced, intellectually challenging tension of classics like "Bad Day at Black Rock." |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkinePremium entertainment of the genre variety. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanAn absolutely merciless thriller--exciting, marvelously crafted, strongly acted, and with more than a few moments destined to increase your heartbeat. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterThere are a few genuinely exciting moments, but they peter out as the film progresses and the movie stumbles into increasingly implausible territory. |
