A girl marked for death must fight and steal to stay alive, learning from the most frightening man she knows: her father. An adaptation of Jordan Harper's award-winning novel.

Albert Gonzalez says: “She Rides Shotgun” presents an intriguing premise that unfortunately falters under the weight of its uneven plot. While the storyline struggles to maintain coherence, the film shines in its character development, bringing to life a cast that is both compelling and relatable. The chemistry between the leads adds depth to their tumultuous journey, making their interactions a highlight amidst the narrative chaos. The performances are commendable, with each actor delivering their roles with conviction. Their emotional range elevates moments that might have otherwise fallen flat due to a lackluster script. Despite the plot's shortcomings, these characters feel real and engaging, allowing viewers to invest in their fates. However, while the acting shines brightly, it can't completely salvage the film from its pacing issues and predictable turns. The entertainment value hovers around average; there are moments of tension and excitement, but they often feel overshadowed by plot holes and missed opportunities for deeper storytelling. Ultimately, “She Rides Shotgun” is a mixed bag—an experience buoyed by strong performances yet weighed down by a flimsy narrative. It’s worth watching for those who appreciate character-driven tales but may leave others yearning for more substance in its execution.
