Desperation Road Ratings & Reviews
OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois)
Linda Cook
It's a solid thriller about redemption and forgiveness.
Screen Rant
Tatiana Hullender
Despite a screenplay penned by the author of its source material, Desperation Road never quite reaches the heights of Michael Farris Smith's novel.
ComingSoon.net
Tyler Treese
Desperation Road does a great job of condensing the novel it is based on into a meaningful film that clocks in under two hours.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Desperation Road is plain and simple good storytelling, and a solid film from start to finish.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An unfocused, clunky, overlong and lethargic action thriller. In a double feature with True Romance or Fargo, it would be the vastly inferior B-movie.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Its negatives are that there's a contrived happy ending, the story is disjointed and the main characters are not fully examined.
We Got This Covered
Scott Campbell
Nadine Crocker's slow-burning 'Desperation Road' may deal with the depths of darkness and despair, but excellent performances and a strong grasp of tone propel it towards the light.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
What could have been another run-of-the-mill thriller is elevated by a slow, sure touch, crafting the story, spending lots of time building character, and establishing a sense of place.
Spectrum Culture
Joel Copling
Desperation Road is a mournful film about people sobered and haunted by their traumatic past.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Despite some intriguing character dynamics, the atmosphere is more compelling than the story, which too often rambles between its generic confrontations involving sex, guns, and alcohol.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Crocker has a decent grasp on the material, overseeing a well-acted and periodically powerful study of grief.
