Hell Ride isn't fine cinema....it is a fine film to throw a few beers back to and hoot....Stylistically, the editing and the music reek of either Tarantino or someone aping him to the letter.....He wanted him to star in, write, and direct the greatest biker movie ever made..... ... Full Review

His sarcastic humor shines some light on an otherwise unflinchingly grisly movie.....The simplistic plot, which is essentially a classic tale of revenge, seems to exist merely to put the characters in sequences that drip with coolness.....Many young viewers will probably misunderstand Hell Ride as a simple attempt to cash in on the work of Tarantino.....The surround mix also complements the action nicely, accenting the visuals with authentic effects.....The viewer is shown scenes that are meant to prompt so ...

The Movie Boy
Not to be confused with the more famous grindhouse biker flicks of a bygone era, or, for that matter, a motion picture as quintessentially American....An unsuccessful homage of the B-movie biker pictures of the '60s and '70s, "Hell Ride" acts like it's too cool for the room....Cinematography by Scott Kevan (2007's " Borderland ") is flat and undistinguished, a collage of muddy colors filling out a featureless desert landscape....For a film that never rustles the viewer's spirits or makes him or her care, cr ...

The sole unforgivable sin for a B-movie is to be dull. Just ask Quentin Tarantino , who co-produced this movie but wisely backed out of appearing in it. ... Full Review

PopMatters
Processed to purgatory and back in post-production, the movie tries to super saturate some depth into what is, in essence, a nostalgia borne out of boredom. The latest attempt at recapturing the exploitation vibe from three decades ago, Hell Ride , has a decent pedigree. ... Full Review
