Desperate to raise money for his daughter's cancer treatment, a retired bull rider teams up with his estranged son and resorts to robbery to secure payment before time runs out. But after the heist goes awry, keeping the money--and their freedom--requires the duo to outwit a dogged pair of local law enforcement officers, including a justice-minded sheriff who soon suspects that the key to her case may lie uncomfortably close to home.

3/4

"Ride" is a film overstuffed with themes, ideas, and characters, but it works because it's made with the kind of urgency that comes from a filmmaker who has to tell this story and get it out on celluloid right now, or they'll bust.

Allyn’s ambitious, tough drama serves up uncompromising Texas grit in every scene, and as actor, co-writer and director, he keeps us riveted on all fronts for nearly two hours.

Ride isn’t a perfect film, but its imperfections are well suited to its gruff and gritty world.

4.5/10

It’s rarely stable, an imbalanced exercise in control, yet often manages to be thrilling. Sure, most of its thrills result in big falls that leave you wishing it could have held on just a little longer.
