Let It Ride looks good in a low-key way, and Giorgio Moroder's eclectic, funky mood-setting score is crucial in helping maintain tone as well as pace. [21 Aug 1989]
It's as beautifully acted throughout as it is photographed, and it has a quizzical tone somewhere between sociological documentary and farce. [22 Aug 1989]
Joe Pytka does display an occasional nice touch with mood and atmosphere - at its infrequent best, the humor here is almost wry. But his editing is as jumpy as a mare in heat. [19 Aug 1989]
Let It Ride looks like it was vastly overshot and overwritten, then whittled down to something which resembles a movie but is really a long commercial for the joys of the racetrack. [22 Aug 1989]
Pytka may know how to push fizzy water, but he certainly can't make a punch line sparkle. [21 Aug 1989]

May only appeal to the gamblers amongst you, but if you like the GGs and love a laugh, you can't beat this film. I've seen it over 50 times and it never gets old !

A classic for horseracing fans!! Others won't appreciate.

Sporadically amusing but generally likeable. The cast is very entertaining, especially Jennifer Tilly and Teri Garr. The story though is unfortunately predictable. Quite watchable but not very memorable.
