Slant Magazine
It's difficult to begrudge a film that has the good sense to put so much stock in Ben Kingsley's hammy theatrics. - 50
The A.V. Club
Like a distracted driver constantly missing his highway exit, Collide keeps passing on opportunities for action in favor of patience-straining exposition. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
The dark humor feels forced and artificial, especially when tied to the utterly ludicrous plot machinations - 40
Los Angeles Times
The action sequences are strong, with spectacular crashes and explosions, dynamic camera moves and tight cuts that at times give the film an appealing breathlessness. But the cast takes a too-lax approach to this material. - 40
We Got This Covered
A cast of reliable performers slum it in this by-the-numbers action thriller. - 38
RogerEbert.com
Hand-in-hand with its bleeding-heart nature, Collide has the ballsy idea of making a serious action movie about a fool in love, but that just becomes one of its many bungled stunts. - 38
Movie Nation
It’s a stupid, ill-plotted heist picture, but Collide does have its moments. - 33
IndieWire
