Anna Smith from Empire Magazine gave the film 2/5 stars, writing, "Both the well-choreographed crash scenes and the gritty cinematography hint at a better film. Shame no-one took the time to make it."[2] Jamie Russell from BBC awarded the film 1/5 stars, calling it "a five-lane pileup on the freeway to hell".[3] Mark Savlov from Austin Chronicle gave the film 2/5 stars, stating that the film "lacks the sprawling, Westernized mythos of The Hitcher and feels, in the end, like a previously owned nightmare sorely in need of a new universal hell joint."[4]
