In what is supposed to be a high-octane action-thriller, End of the Road does not deliver much of action or thrills promised.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 4, 2023

The plot is so straightforward that a viewer can predict the ending just several minutes in.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 1, 2022

Get Out, the defining 21st-century Black horror film, is ostensibly about white supremacy in the Obama age. The End of the Road is the follow-up; because it's dealing with a different kind of beast...

Exercise in absurd violence.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 18, 2022

Intense thriller has violence, racism, language.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2022

Queen Latifah and Ludacris drive right into a brick wall of action clichés.

| Sep 16, 2022

One of the reasons we get not just one but four final black people is because in End of the Road, community is the heart of the story.

| Sep 15, 2022

Through weaknesses in its writing, pacing, and staging, we never feel even the beginnings of an involuntary slide to the edge of our seat. My backside, for one, remained firmly in that comfortable wedge right at the back of the sofa.

| Sep 13, 2022

A road movie that starts out as a blandly familiar family drama and morphs into a violent thriller that grows more absurd by the mile.

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 13, 2022

Director Millicent Shelton’s long resume that spans several genres in television serves her well here in delivering a tight, emotional family drama set against an increasingly bonkers thriller backdrop.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 12, 2022

It may be the end of the road, but there’s no end to the script’s enormous plot holes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 10, 2022

In End of the Road, Shelton transforms an already compelling script into one about family, motherhood, and survival.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 10, 2022

Delivers pretty much everything you want from an action thriller, and it benefits from a most unexpected and welcome element: characters you care about.

| Original Score: B | Sep 10, 2022

If you thought Hollywood had worn out the tyres on unsettling road thrillers, End of the Road proves there's still gas in the tank.

| Sep 10, 2022

... Any attempt to make a serious statement about racial tension is crushed by its predictable twists and cavalcade of incredulous UH HUH developments.

| Sep 9, 2022

Queen Latifah fights Nazis in "End of the Road," and not even that bit of ridiculousness can save this inept thriller from being one of the year's most hapless films.

| Original Score: D- | Sep 9, 2022

By the time you reach the third car chase, you’ll be seeking an exit ramp.

| Sep 9, 2022

Seems determined to toss as many obstacles as humanly possible into the path of the Freeman family, whether the story makes sense or not

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 9, 2022

Latifah gives the part her all, making for a credibly wounded and powerful character, but the material doesn’t support such dedication, becoming generic and absurd when all it needed to be was ferocious.

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 9, 2022

The thriller “End of the Road” seems designed to answer the question, “How many misfortunes can one movie character endure before it stops being tragic and starts getting ridiculous?”
