It's a blunderbuss satire that criminally wastes a talented cast.

In truckin' past so many fruitful oases, "Salvation Boulevard" is a bumpy road.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
[An] enjoyable if simplistic black comedy loosely based on a novel by Larry Beinhart.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Rotten
It's quite funny at times and has some good performances. But it's so predictable it has no bite, either as social satire or as slapstick comedy.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
Salvation Boulevard has a terrific cast and not much else.
