September 2, 2009A bit of a shambles in every respect. It was hard to figure out what the hell was going on, with the incoherent story, choppy narrative and poor acting. The acting is really bad, mostly from Bishop. He tries to become more and more intense, but just comes off as lecherous, seedy ...( read more)

March 22, 2009First off, this isn't as wacked out on crack as Mad Dog Time. Here, Bishop does a kind of homage to the Biker Films of the early 70's by way of Tarantino. (Producer here.)
The unfortunate things about this are that Bishop is no Tarantino and he really only has about 45-50 mins...( read more) -

November 17, 2008If you think back to the original concept for Grindhouse, Rodriguez and Tarantino were going to make their films based on the premise, "What if the drive-in/grindhouse movies had been as good as the posters made them seem?" Rodriguez lived up to the premise. He made a movie with ...( read more)

November 13, 2008Clunky "homage" to biker movies and Tarantino-style filmmaking.
It fails on both levels. -
January 27, 2010A bad ass rebel biker called Pistolero (Larry Bishop) hits the road on what can only be called a "Hell Ride", to avenge the killing of his lover Cherokee (Julia Jones) by a rival motorcycle gang called the 666ers, along with his brother The Gent (Michael Madsen) and their mysteri...( read more)

January 17, 2010Not bad, I have to say I enjoyed this one. I was alittle confused cause of all the gang names and the members names. They coulda made that a little clearer early on. Other then that it was pretty good.

January 4, 2010Very bad.
Very disappointing.
Just becuase it says produced by Quentin Tarantino doesn't mean it will be as good as his movies. -
January 1, 2010Could've been a kickass biker flick, but drowns under bizarre acting, pointless dialogue & vain desire for quirky Tarantino cool.

December 21, 2009Not one of Tarantino's best but enjoyable enough. I didn't think Larry Bishop suited the title role of Pistolero, he came across more past-his-time-wanna-be-bad-ass.... poor casting there IMO. And (the usually bad-ass) Vinnie Jones' accent = WTF? Storyline was kinda hard to fol...( read more)

The movie was executive produced by Quentin Tarantino. Shame on him. He intends it no doubt as another homage to grindhouse pictures, but I've seen a lot of them, and they were nowhere near this bad. ... full review

Armond White, The New York Press
Too-aptly named, Hell Ride packages so many hipster clichés that it never picks up speed and is no fun. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
The second wave of fawning Tarantino imitators commences with Hell Ride, a wannabe badass biker flick that plays like a Kill Bill-Death Proof hybrid minus the genre-deconstruction angle. full review
