“[A] superior thriller. . . . Along with the fast pace and hard action genre thrillers are expected to deliver, Final Destination unfolds on an unusually intelligent and philosophical plane”

- Kevin Thomas

“[P]ure garbage, virtually humorless and intentionally predictable. It’s bloody, senseless and totally lacking in redeeming social value”

- Tom Long
