Joyride Audience Reviews

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Kelly Poisoncupcake This movie wasn't wonderful, but it wasn't THAT bad either. I noticed some goofs aka film flubs (after the guy with the bat hits the headlights on the car out with the bat, the car is then shown going down the road with headlights in tact) but tons of movies contain those. There were a lot of things in the movie which made little sense and some points had no consistency or follow thru (and the part about what her father was making her do..such a strong powerful point..no follow thru!!!... now before, I have left the theater..I have fast forwarded or turned off movies for being really stupid..but this movie was entertaining to me,...entertaining enough to where I didn't feel I had to or wanted to turn it off. BTW, Wilson Cruz is superb in anything that he is in...I think he is one of the most underrated and best actors around. I still recommend this movie if your bored and want to watch something that is entertaining...
Andy After having watched Benicio Del Toro in some brilliant and engrossing roles, i decided id give 'Joyride' a watch. Toby Maguire isn't one of my favourite actors, and I've often found him to be a fairly boring, and in the hands of a movie such as this, Maguire is stretched far beyond his limits. The story is laughable for all the wrong reasons, and the movie plods on and on, without many scenes of any real depth. Del Toro is also slacking, mostly mumbling his way through the terrible script. As if all this wasn't bad enough, the movies production and soundtrack kill what little merit 'Joyride' had. I've tried to think of some good points to raise, but upon reflection, there are non.3/10
pattay72 I saw this because I am a fan of Toby McGuire and Benicio Del Toro. I never expected a movie in which the two appear to be so horrible. It was like a film school production, beyond bad. The acting was embarrassing, especially the woman who played the blond assassin. Benicio seemed like he didn't memorize his lines or something. You should see it if you want to learn about acting and what not to do.
LadyLanyon I watched this movie because it starred Tobey Maguire. I read some comments and a review or two beforehand and as a consequence I expected it to be dire. However it wasn't, though it wasn't particularly good either. The performances were average, except for Benicio del Toro who was awful. The script definitely needed some work - there were a lot of loose ends dangling around that could have been tied together. Tobey Maguire is the lead actor, but towards the end of the film it seemed that his role tapered off in relevance to the story.The direction was flashy in a pointless sort of way. There were hardly any close ups used. I would recommend this film only really for die-hard Tobey Maguire fans as it is interesting to see him in a early role, before he got to work with first class directors of the likes of Ang Lee, Lasse Hallstrum and Woody Allen who he has obviously learned a llot from,since his performance in this film is a million miles away from his work in Spider-Man or Pleasantville or any of the other excellent films he has done in recent years.
