Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
jollylolly It could be happening to anyone. i love it. all the peces are drawn together at the end. breaks my heart to see the bags on the airport belt, unclaimed by anyone.
FountainPen I see there are a few very highly-rated responses to this film. I have to assume they are from cast or crew members. This is an abysmal attempt at making a horror movie, full of nonsense and unrealistic situations. It's not only the bus driver who is crazy and freaked-out ! 1/10
Rich Wright What can you say about the film where the general idea behind it is good... but the construction is so appalling? Watching the last few minutes offered some semblance of satisfaction... but recalling almost everything that led up to this point... such as: twists you can see from a mile off, cretinous behaviour from all concerned and a ludicrously indestructible villain meant whatever good feelings I may I had towards the movie came crashing down like a lead balloon.These two girls have just come back from Mexico, and are trying to get a ride home from the airport. Rather than take an official bus, they rather unwisely choose to hop on a dodgy looking blue van driven by a seedy looking geezer... with the offer of a 50% discount. A couple of lads desperate to get off with the two ladies join them, along with a nervous-looking businessman. His role will quickly become clear for anyone with a half functioning brain. Surprise, surprise... the truck doesn't stop where they want it to. Then, when the vehicle halts abruptly when it gets a 'flat'... that's where the ordeal begins.And not just for the protagonists. Constantly, we see people having countless opportunities to run for it, kill the bad guy, escape with the van... and do they take any of them? Nope. Admittedly, this would have ended the film much sooner (not a bad thing). But to endlessly harangue us with these venues of retreat, only for the foolish characters to choose THE WORST POSSIBLE OPTION and muck them up is just an insult to the audience. This is a common problem to be found in a lot of recent films... if our heroes are going to fail, at least let them do it in a believable way, not by having them act dumber than roadkill. It also majorly diminishes what sympathy we may have had for the hapless fools... when they're the architects of their own downfall.As for the evil dude, he can be involved in a major automobile accident, bludgeoned over the head repeatedly, stabbed in the thigh and shot through the skull... and STILL muster up enough strength to not only survive, but force a young woman into a box. Is he a cartoon? It just adds to the lunacy, anyway. And the few curveballs the script throws our way could be anticipated by the most inattentive of viewers. Shuttle could have been a noteworthy horror with originality, but thanks to poor treatment just ends up being a forgettable also-ran... 4/10
mdarmocida The movie starts out pretty good and I have to say its well acted and will keep you fairly entertained for the first forty minutes or so. However half way through the victims start turning the tables, not once, not twice, not three times, but four times (maybe more, I wasn't really counting) and don't kill this guy or incapacitate him to the point where he is no longer a danger. Their refusal to do this is stunning considering he severed all the fingers in one guy's hands, ran over the other guy, almost suffocated one girl, and had the first guys throat slashed. Despite his ineptness, the villain couldn't fail because he had everything going for him (his victims were incredibly stupid, he had more lives than Michael Myers, and he had superhuman powers that allowed him to survive and heal whenever he got hurt along with the ability to magically show up in the right place at the right time throughout the entire movie). By the end of the movie I was cheering for the villain because the supposed hereon was so inept I figured she deserved to die. Thank God the movie ended the way it did, because it would have been very frustrating, and even more unbelievable, if she was able to pull off an escape in the 11th hour (when it was more impossible than ever) considering that she had multiple opportunities throughout the movie and refused to act. At least she stayed consistent and didn't finish the guy off in her final attempt. On the other hand, the villain was pretty inept also in that he allowed his victims to gain the upper hand so many times that it was making me dizzy. Heck, there's one scene that shows a drawer full of drivers licenses of all the women that this guy abducted over the past five years. How could this have been? After five years of experience these two girls got the upper hand so many times that I can't believe no one had overtaken this guy in his prior attempts. Basically, this movie was like watching a battle between dumb and dumber and wondering which one would come out on top.
