Banker Matt Turner finds out he has a bomb in his car and if he doesn't do what an unknown voice on the phone asks, he'll go up in smoke. And maybe he should do it to avoid making the audience suffer. Death Ride is a silly B-movie that is artificially stretched out and that shouldn't be longer than ninety minutes. It lacks suspense and ideas, and is predictable from beginning to end, and even annoying in how uninteresting it is. Liam Neeson has probably never made a worse action thriller.

An ordinary thriller. A family father, a bomb in the car, Berlin in the early morning rush. Where is the problem? Liam Neeson is already over seventy, and he needs something completely different at this stage of his career. After all, fifty-year-old Wotan Wilke Möhring in Don't. Get. Out! (2018) makes much more sense in the same role.

Surprisingly not as bad as I expected. Liam Neeson's recent films have been declining because he's an old man already, so the action and fights have been looking pretty retirement home-like, and the scripts of his films aren’t worth much either. Both problems are finally absent here, firstly because here Neeson sits in a car for the entire film, and secondly because it's an idea seen and rehashed hundreds of times before, but still enjoyable and entertainingly suspenseful. I was tense throughout, enjoying each new "challenge" and eagerly awaiting the final reveal. Likewise, the visuals aren't bad by any means and the film's spirit is undeniable. All in all, it's definitely a non-offensive one-shot that is entertaining, engaging and even though it's an unoriginal theme, I wasn't bored. Average.
