Not sure how the reviews for this tripe are so high. The script is a nonsensical mess that may have more going for it, but it's so poorly written, that everything falls through. Why does the killer leave one girl alive? From what we see, it makes me think he only goes after annoying people and sluts, but then he goes after the main character, whom doesn't happen to be annoying or slutty, so I don't see the correlation. The main character also somehow seems just fine through a crash without a seat belt, while the bad guy gets knocked out with a seat belt.
The characters are bland, and have no personality, except for the one guy that called himself double T. The rest simply complain about each other, and then all the pointless scenes where he's killing people; all just annoying filler without any actual meaning.
The acting is borderline okay in some places, but mostly terrible. The script is riddled with stupid lines, so maybe it's not all the actors' faults. The music is downright annoying throughout, and the characters don't act realistically at all in a supposedly "realistic" movie. Attractive women don't just randomly hit on men(even good looking ones) and invite them over unless they're super drunk, especially less so in this day and age. They got the app part right, but apparently they missed the whole shift in culture to "strange men are creepy and you probably shouldn't be talking to him."
The movie had all of these pointless scenes where women were giving the bad guy googly eyes, or scenes of him driving around aimlessly whilst we were assaulted by this drum shattering mess of a soundtrack. And, the extra curricular murders, which I already mentioned, just to kill time were extra redundant.
Also, the twist in the end, was easily predictable, and stupid on top of it. Don't forget the staple of Hollywood clichés: every character is attractive.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this crap. It's garbage.

Plot summary
A new ride share service app called RYDE is taking over what used to be the Taxi industry. It's cheaper and has more of a "friend giving you a ride" type of feel. With so many people using this fun new platform, how safe is it? When a PSYCHOPATH takes over the identity of a Ryde driver, everyone who uses this app will be at the mercy of this maniac. Getting a RYDE is as simple as a few clicks away, but getting out alive won't be so easy.

Don't even bother with this tripe.
Most awful movie of 2017
If you like bad acting, stupid scripts and fake reviews telling how good this movie is, then this one is certainly for you.
It's not even worth downloading if that is a option, waste of both bandwidth and space.
It amazes me how b-movie makers use more money on marketing and fake reviews rather than actually making a decent movie...
Killing is better than dying
The film opens with Jasmine (Jessica Serfaty) so we suspect she is the final girl. Her boyfriend Marcus (Ronnie Alvarez) is Joe Pesci obnoxious and we hope he is the first one killed, slow and horribly. The film shifts to a subplot where Paul (David Wachs) is picked up at a bar by a beautiful lady (Valerie Lynn Smith) who takes him back to her place using Ryde, which, like Lyft is the dumbing down of America.
Now for the plot spoiler (or not) Paul kills her. He is an unexplained serial killer with no background other than his wife died....and I can't imagine how. So Paul, gets his Ryde to come and kills him so as to tie up loose ends, like he washes off the murder knife and places it back with his bare hands on the handle and he leaves prints all over the house. Why he wore gloves for the next kill I don't know.
The film is just Paul driving around, picking up people, selecting a victim (women mostly) and pummel them in the face. I guess if you like to beat women up, this is your film. But plot wise it was too simple. Our protagonist wasn't on the screen that often, leaving us with Paul, who we hardly knew. Now I liked Karl (Kyle Thomas Schmidt). Too bad they didn't team up.
