Reviews:
“While it keeps viewers guessing, the intensity never reaches the expected heights. The film has the potential for a grander scale, but it effectively immerses us in a world where larger events unfold around the central characters. Ultimately, it crafts a narrative with broken characters drifting through a complex and mysterious world.” A Cine TV
“Cinematography is a highlight for Roadkill featuring some good-looking aerial car chases and nice smooth camera work. On the downside, I’ve never been a fan of cat-and-mouse chases that outstay their welcome. And here it begins wearing thin at times. The pacing slows down in the middle and feels like filler before it picks back up and hammers home.” ★★½ Mother of Movies
“This does keep you guessing but never ends up becoming as intense as you would imagine. It does feel like this could have been a lot bigger, but it also does a good job of making us feel like we stepped into the middle of something bigger going on. In the end, this does create a lot of broken characters who find themselves drifting through the world.” ★★★ Movie Reviews 101
“The film might drag a bit while it is setting up its chess pieces, but keep the seat belts buckled because when the manhunt finally hits full throttle, there’s no telling where this chase will end up. Featuring fun chase sequences, strong special effects and great kills, Roadkill is all about the hit-and-run.” This does keep you guessing but never ends up becoming as intense as you would imagine.

” …a clever script and elegant direction as well as plenty of violence in all the right places sure help to keep one at the edge of one’s seat, while the two protagonists play very well of one another, portraying an odd couple sharing an unspoken secret and develop a weird chemistry that really fits the story, making this pretty cool genre entertainment.” Search My Trash
“The small cast and low budget keep the body count down and frequently keep the kills off screen […] Despite its flaws, Roadkill manages to rise above most of the films in its budget range and deliver a nice dose of action. While it may give too much away at points it does have a few surprises, some of them shocking, in reserve.” ★★★ Voices from the Balcony
