Audience Reviews for Let It Ride

    I thought it was okay, it's wasn't the greatest but I did laugh ounce or twice

    I expected a superficial comedy, (which it is on one level) however Dreyfuss delivers a solid character performance,. The element that caught my eye in <I>Let It Ride</i> is a class bit of filmmaking at the climax in which the action turns to slow motion and the sound is cut to emphasize the gravity of fortunes and futures hinging on a photo finish. It is not a unique or profound segment, but it is dramatically well done and the image is one which has stuck with me.

    Stupid ass movie that glorifies an idiotic loud mouth.
