Critic Reviews

  • Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com

    Let It Ride limps to its conclusion, though it doesn't go down without a fight. Pytka struggles to keep the bottle rocket vibe of the movie engaged to the bitter end.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    Low-key and forgettable...

  • Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com

    quirky but fun comedy. Dreyfuss is charming as the compulsive gambler.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Only in the movies can you come across selfish bastards that you actually like. Of course it helps when your bastard is played by the likes of Richard Dreyfuss.

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    Close Encounters of the worst kind
