Excellent, a Must See

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The usual dark and grimy horror fare in which innocent people are caught up in a violent world and find themselves murdered by emotionless bad guys. This is very similar to the likes of HOSTEL and in particular the Thora Birch film TRAIN, and it attempts to be a single location film set entirely on a bus; however the action often diverts to outside of the vehicle given the limited filming opportunities inside.SHUTTLE is no better or worse than a dozen other similar genre films. The odds are stacked against it insofar as the script is entirely bland and lacking in appealing characters; Tony Curran's villain is just sort of there and doesn't have much in the way of presence. The emphasis is on violence and humiliation, which means that this isn't much fun to watch, but the film as a whole never manages to be frightening, just depressing. The sole redeeming thing is that this never goes all-out into torture porn territory, which is something to be commended.

I was looking forward movie and I thought it would be something better then this!, it not great movie, it good movie, it had some really entertaining moments.one moment did shock me, there was small twist just after half away mark, you already know twist even before they can say the world Shuttle.I did not really understand the ending of the movie at all, i am total clueless, there was also one annoying girl in this movie, she gave a bloody headache with her whining for whole, even her best friend told her to Shut the BEEP up. When she did that, I said Thank God for that and it's her took 50mins to do that!5 out of 10

Four kids coming back from a trip to Mexico are convinced by a driver to board his shuttle to get downtown. He offers them his service for half the price of the other shuttles. Already aboard is a nerdy businessman. The driver picks a dangerous route through some shady neighborhoods. Then they get a flat tire and the muscular kid who offers to help change the tire loses his fingers in the process. The driver who up till now seemed a jerk and endangered everybody on board for no good reason unmasks himself as a kidnapper. He takes the passengers' ATM cards and PIN numbers, their valuable luggage, and sends a girl to shop for some items. In the process there are a whole lot of threats ,pointing guns and knives at people. All this while he drives endlessly around dark LA neighborhoods. Right in the middle of the movie there is a great surprise twist that I didn't expect. It turns out this isn't about the money the passengers have on them. Nor is it about all of the passengers (2 guys and 2 girls make up the 4 kids), but just about the girls. Finally he takes the girls to a warehouse where a customer inspects them and picks one. And in the fantastic and unexpected ending we learn the fate of that girl. Low budget pychoterror tends to be lame. And Shuttle struggles mightily against it's low budget and a lack of story. What helps are the excellent performance of Tony Curran, who is a great villain, the twist, and the ending. Despite the miniscule script, the director does a great job and keeps us mildly engaged and our thumbs away from the FF button, but barely. Since the director is also the writer he only gets partial kudos. Perhaps he should have gotten another writer on board to help him expand the script a bit. As with all these movies, the characters act in ways that no rational human would, but the script requires them to. Not just the victims, after all this villain isn't that threatening, plus...he's busy driving; but also the villain makes pointless choices, why does he send the girl shopping, shouldn't he have all that already prepared? The movie looks a bit too dark, lacks excitement, and thrills, but succeeds at what it aims to do more than similar movies.

The best thing you can say about this film is that the acting is great. All the characters are likable and believable...except one.It's pretty much what you might expect with a high concept film. The problem is that the concept is not a monster, an asteroid or a shark. It's a bus. They actually managed to make a half decent film with such a low concept idea in 'devil' , but in this film it doesn't work.The plot is riddled with holes, the twists are predictable, and that's what really drags the film down. Instead of being drawn in you constantly think to yourself ..'but why didn't he do that?' or ' I would'a done this' etc etc.By the end it went into another direction but i didn't care I switched off early.
