Review of The Ride

The Ride (V) (2018)
5/10
Enjoyable Ride with a star turn from Ludacris
28 December 2020
A perfect pickme up movie about a kid from a tough background being given a chance to shine but also changing his beliefs and values along the way. This true story has race at its centre but veers away from complex scenes on race and ideology using it as a background to focus instead upon the journey towards becoming a champion biker. In terms of performances, all the lead actors do well with the exception of Ludacris whose understated performance of a tough but fair foster parent steals the movie.

The scenes with the BMX skills seemed real and were amazing to watch, and like all sports movies inspired you to make you to go and have a go. Overall conclusion an uplifting movie, but will be soon forgotten.
