The Passenger (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Even if this movie doesn’t achieve a great epiphany at the end of the darkest route, it offers a great showcase for Gallner in particular. Rated: 3/4 Aug 4, 2023 Full Review The Passenger (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael Nordine Variety Proves sneakily effective with its low-key approach to several kinds of violence. Aug 2, 2023 Full Review The Passenger (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) The climactic diner scene sums up the film as a whole; tight, tense and dialogue-heavy with two young actors wonderfully playing off each other, led by a delightfully dark Gallner. Oct 5, 2023 Full Review The Passenger (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) A sinister joy ride about reclaiming the driver's seat. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review The Passenger (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Chad Byrnes LA Weekly/Village Voice There are simply too many scenes with Benson pointing a gun at people and yelling, “Shut the f— up!” After a while, it feels rote and rehashed in a movie that was anything but up to that point. Even with the road bumps, it’s a thrilling ride overall. Aug 18, 2023 Full Review The Passenger (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Conor Truax In Review Online Ultimately, The Passenger makes itself passive to its characters’ reality, and in turn, renders us passive observers of the outcome.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Eric R Over all i think this movie deserves 10 rating cuz when I watched it it’s gives me a chilling and terrifying feel and it’s feels good to watch thisss Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Jennifer N I thought this movie was great. I’ve watched it twice and also love the nostalgic rural down feel it has. I wish there was more movies that gave me this same feeling Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Ian S Simple storyline, great performances and well paced. Think this is up there with 'Blue Ruin' in a sense of self discovery. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Scott H Better than I thought it would be. Good acting, good basic story. Violence could have been brought down a notch but, overall, worth seeing Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this movie. The ending was predictable of course but everything the main kid had to go through was just brutal. Plus Kyle Gallner makes an excellent psycho serial killer. He's actually coming out with more movies where he's the psycho. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
