Reviews
Eat My Dust has received mixed reviews from critics. While some appreciate the film for its entertaining car chase sequences and Ron Howard's charismatic performance, others find fault in its simplistic storyline and lack of depth. The film has a rating of 5.4/10 on IMDb and 54/100 on Metacritic. According to Rotten Tomatoes, critics have praised the movie's high-octane action scenes but criticized its thin plot. Variety noted, 'Ron Howard stands out with his likable screen presence, but the film overall lacks substance.' Conversely, Roger Ebert gave it a more positive review, stating, 'Eat My Dust is a fun, mindless romp that delivers on its promise of pure escapism.' Despite its flaws, the movie has gained a cult following for its nostalgic charm and classic 70s vibe.
