In a time when vacant retreads such as The Fast and the Furious are the problem, Vanishing Point is the answer.
Peter Kenis, Rolling Stone
Rotten
A movie about which I can think of almost nothing good to say.
Roger Greenspun, New York Times

Takes full advantage of the subject's existential and mythical undertones without being pretentious, and you certainly get a run for your money, along with a lot of rock music.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

The woodenness of both direction and Newman's performance becomes increasingly apparent.
