Ride

Ultimately, "Ride" feels a little like a drama class exercise, with the leads digging deep into their characters' motivations and feelings. All three nail their parts. But their story never gets out of first gear.

Competently crafted enough to work well as a résumé-builder for its participants, but also underwhelmingly conceived enough to impress viewers as little more than a forgettable time-killer.

Tapping cleverly into one of the newest perils in urban living, Ride will please most audiences looking for a Friday night thrill ride.

It is a serviceable movie with serviceable performances and while I believe both of the romantic leads turned in likable performances, I can’t really say that I was thrilled at any point.
