Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Dahl, like his brother protagonists, isn't up on the scare basics. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Lives up to its title. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: A well-oiled, slick and efficient fun-house ride, one that moves too quickly -- and is too much fun, really -- to nitpick. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: There's good pulp and bad pulp, and for most of its duration, Joy Ride is quality stuff. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Dahl permeates the film with enough quirky detail ... and horror-movie staples ... to keep things interesting. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: A solidly crafted thriller, the type of flick that once would have been lauded as 'a terrific B-movie.' Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Much more effectively terrifying than the usual overplotted, underwritten Hollywood thriller. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Mr. Showbiz: Feels like a long drive in circles, with no destination worth getting to. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: A genuine thriller, guaranteed to whiten knuckles, grind enamel and render armrests into scrap. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: [Dahl's] been beaten down either by the idiot script or the idiot moneymen or both. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Terrific escapist fare, stylish, outrageous and compelling. Read more
Paul Tatara, CNN.com: The endless cat-and-mouse game starts out silly, then it gets ridiculous. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The king of the road is Zahn, expertly steering his path between ironic goofball and real scared dude. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Nothing more or less than scary noirish fun, low on thematic ambition but giddily high on the fright front. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Dahl and his screenwriters spoil it by turning the trucker and his rig into a metallic-sheathed monster willing and able to do anything to get back at his enemies. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Essentially a popcorn movie put together by a director who knows how to generate suspense and build tension. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: You want to be scared and have a few laughs and not have your intelligence insulted? Here you go. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Dahl works the audience like the dial of a car radio, testing out all manner of squeals and static and all-out, high-pitched terror. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: No one wins awards for movies like this, but this is escapist entertainment raised to the level of art. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: It attains its modest ambitions with dispatch and wit, and without ever lifting its foot from the pedal. Read more
