Vehicle 19 sets up a fascinating conceit for itself, and then loses interest in delivering on it. It just wants to get to the cool car chase, but by the time it does, we've stopped caring.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
Mr. Walker's character is haunted by a troubled past, but the film would have been better if it had given him more to do in the present.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten
The plot is brainless even for a Paul Walker movie. Get ready for "The Slow and the Spurious."
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
A lean, low-budget and claustrophobic mistaken-identity thriller that's so stripped-down, it's nearly nonexistent.
Sean O'Connell, Washington Post
