I really wanted to like this film
K_Rad886 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Whilst I appreciate the premise, the fact a female CEO wants to stand up against violence against women and the fact that 'whatever it takes' to be successful in this world as a female doesn't mean bending over and taming harassment is a really good point for a movie, especially in todays day and age - this movie fell short.

Why? The acting. It was like a lifetime film. You didn't see the murders, scenes are skipped to allude to the fact someone had died. The acting from almost all the actors involved was subpar at best, so I didn't believe any of it. I wanted to so badly, especially when Julia mentioned changing her idea to women only services because she's worried the protocols aren't good enough and our safety is as risk.

Good concept, poor execution.

Such bad acting

First off the main character is apparently a young co-Ed living off daddy's money however she looks as old as her dad!

This is such a bad movie, the acting is horrendous and I love bad movies lol but this is next level.

This movie should never have been made.

Trash garbage cabbage what were these people thinking. Overall this movie deserves a negative ranking. The acting was terrible nothing scary happens it tries to make a modern fear of today as a movie that should bring awareness yet the delivery screams toxic feminism saying only women should feel protected when both men and women die in the movie. A sour movie with an even worser ending. I wish i could have my time back because this movie is a waste of time. -10 out of 10.

Terrible acting and just bad overall
lunkentuss-4930330 March 2022
Once again some close friend has been nice and gave this 8/10. The movie is bad in many ways but what really sticks out in this one is some truly terrible acting. Eric Roberts looks ok in this one and that more or less says it all how bad the rest of the cast is. If you want a good laugh i guess it works for a while but you probably get to embarrased to continue watching and turn it off. In the future save money from this kind of productions and give them to some useful charity instead.

The writer should put down the pen

This is quite possibly the worst written movie in the history of movie making. I want compensation for the wasted time watching this trash. Could have been good if was not so poorly written.

Very Entertaining

Tuesday Knight - most famous for both playing Kristen Parker, and singing the opening title song, in "A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master" - stars as Julia Altimari, CEO of the new start-up ride share app named "Rock n Ride."

Julia; her partners Naomi (Victoria De Mare) and Lorraine (Croix Provence); and Julia's father Reginald (Jeffry Druce) are seeking capital investors to properly launch "Rock n Ride" in the current market that already has taxi and ride sharing companies competitively even.

As the creative team of "Rock n Ride" continues looking for investors and going about further maintenance & development, a murderer has been killing "Rock n Ride" drivers, and passengers. Thereby threatening not only "Rock n Ride," but the entire ride-share industry with negative publicity.

I am a huge fan of Tuesday Knight, who gives one of her ballsiest performances here. Oliver Robins - best known as younger brother Robbie Freeling in the original "Poltergeist" - also delivers a great performance as "Rock n Ride" driver Billy. And Eric Roberts is entertaining as always, in his role of Lt. Moyer.

This movie is not very scary, as horror movies go. But it is a very good mystery that will keep you guessing. There's no strong violence depicted, nor sex or nudity. The only content to really watch out for, is a lot of strong language.

The finale of "The Rideshare Killer" seeks to right a wrong by perpetrating the same kind of behavior that its lead characters condemn throughout the rest of the film. Which I actually find to be a very interesting commentary on today's "woke" culture.

I don't know what particular message the filmmakers were going for with their presented conclusion, nor do I want to. But it could definitely lead to some thoughtful discussions.

Better than its rating
teepack-7531220 June 2022
Too many people rate movies on IMDb and don't take into account the factors that go into a blockbuster, ie budget, budget and budget. Big budgets get big talent, lavish sets, expensive locations, etc. A low-budget movie like this one shouldn't be rated on the same scale as movies like Saving Private Ryan or anything from Disney or Marvel. They need to be rated against other similar movies in terms of genre and budget, which is why I gave this one eight stars.

For its genre and budget, this one is entertaining enough. It sets up the mystery, builds the tension and keeps the story moving forward. The acting is okay and the cinematography good. It looks and feels like it was made by folks who know what they're doing and are limited only by the amount of money they had to spend.

Empowering, Thrilling, and Fun!
GuyLongstreet13 July 2022
The Rideshare Killer is a film that explores (with unapologetically melodramatic strokes) the fear and struggle of women living in the age of rideshare services and the threat they can pose. It also explores the glass ceiling so reinforced by corporate America. The film is held together by the the cast with standout performances by Victoria De Mare, James Balsamo, and the perpetually playful Eric Roberts. Grab your popcorn, a glass of chilled wine, and hold on for the ride!
