- 80Film ThreatFilm ThreatThe motorcycle film genre is one that has all but been forgotten, but if any film could start the resurrection of this cinema genre's corpse, it's Larry Bishop's Hell Ride.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterLacks sufficient substance to be of more than quickly passing interest for all but the most devoted fans.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe film has energy but isn't well paced. Nothing about it quite gels.
- 30VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyAll this sounds like a surefire recipe for knowing, trashy fun, but something got burnt in the oven.

- 25Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe 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. "Hell's Angels on Wheels," for example: pretty good.

- 10Village VoiceVillage VoiceBishop's jumbled, wholly unexciting throwback has very little on its mind beyond mythologizing its maker as a bad-ass biker named Pistolero.
- 0Washington PostWashington PostAfter all the bloated lines are delivered, and dozens of women are debased, and Bishop has attitudinized the story line into incomprehensibility, audience members will be asking themselves how they got on this Hell Ride and what they did to deserve it.
