Recommandations

Variety
It’s both funny and familiar to see these two incredibly different personalities thrust together for what’s meant to be a short ride. [SXSW work-in-progress review] - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
The naggy tension between the leads turns into a fine chemistry. [SXSW work-in-progress review] - 50
The Playlist
A comedy that’s really quite hyper-violent, a little nasty in tone, and never as funny as it should be. [SXSW work-in-progress review] - 42
The A.V. Club
The demands of action and comedy, however, are apparently much too great a weight for this action-comedy to Lyft. - 38
Movie Nation
Nanjiani just kills when he’s grabbing stereotypes (meek, moral South Asians, overly-polite drivers) and shaking them to their senses. But the wisecracks thin out and grate when the violence takes center stage. And Stuber is stupidly violent. - 30
Los Angeles Times
It’s not the clumsiness of the filmmaking that rankles so much as the hypocrisy. - 25
Slant Magazine
More than its violence, the film is defined by its vileness, its straight-faced attachment to outmoded ideas about masculinity and law enforcement. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
This film is like cynicism transformed into celluloid, a movie made without love and with no vision, except of dollar signs.
