The movie “Overdrive” was released in various countries in 2017. It was first released theatrically in Slovenia on June 15, 2017. It was then released in Belgium on August 9, 2017, by Belga Films, and in France on August 16, 2017, by Ocan Films. In the United States, it was released in select theaters and on demand and digital on October 6, 2017, by Paramount Pictures.

The film received mixed reviews. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an approval rating of 29% based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 4.1/10. The Hollywood Reporter referred to the film as a “formulaic adolescent-male button-pusher, which is witless and brainless but not entirely joyless.” However, some viewers found it entertaining and enjoyed the car chase scenes and action. Scott Eastwood, who starred in the film, was praised for his performance.

The movie features a replica of a Ferrari 250 GTO, based on a Ferrari 250 GTE chassis owned by a French collector. Using a replica was unsurprising, as a genuine Ferrari 250 GTO used in the film would be valued at several million dollars.
