Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

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.

the_wolf_imdb I have never finished the movie, I'm too old for it. I have stopped to watch the movie in the very moment when one of the victim got a gun, pointed it at the bad guy and decided not to shoot. It happened after the bad guy injured several people and killed one and yet you have to listen to incredible dialog "If you hurt me you might be a killer." Well what are you going to do? Of course, as any new modern good guy you will give the bad guy another chance after another chance.Well, I would not wait a second and shoot at last two bullets to the torso and at least one bullet to the brain. Basically every victim in older movies from seventies would do that. But you know, these days the bad guys have rights and you have only one right: To suffer the consequences of your ineptitude.I assume the poor kids all died at the end. Well, they have deserved it. This is not a thriller, this is Darwinian game of some sort where the inept ones die. I have absolutely no sympathy for those who are not ready to fight. I have no time for that. This is a thriller for a new generation, for the generation that is not willing to fight. They might be scared. I'm only disgusted.

bob_meg It's really difficult to make a film whose theme is abduction and white slavery, and not make it seem cheap and exploitational, but Ed Anderson has succeeded with "Shuttle." Mel and Jules (Peyton List and Cameron Goodman) have just returned from a Mexico vacation and are desperate to get on the last shuttle back into the city. They meet a few cute guys and board a nearly vacant bus with one other passenger around 2 AM. Nearly an hour later, they're still cruising around aimlessly into the ever-more industrial districts of the town. Then they get a flat...or so they think, and from here things obviously go from bad to worse very quickly.There are a lot of surprises here, which I won't give away (really the whole concept of the movie is a spoiler which is why I checked my box) but the really refreshing part of "Shuttle" is that it takes detours you don't expect it to, after a bunch of expected setups. It also doesn't succumb to that well-worn running commercial movie balance sheet, usually supplied by worried studios --- the "we must right every wrong eventually and make things turn out well in the end."Things don't go as you expect in "Shuttle," and I found that gave it a hard, ugly edge that many viewers won't care for. I did. As I said before, movies that deal in this genre usually turn exploitational, violent, lurid, and snuffy. The topic of commercial abduction is indeed a timely one, with alarming stats, so it's great to see a thriller tackling this subject without merely trying to take advantage of the built-in tawdriness. This movie doesn't go there because the director and actors won't let it. They simply do too good a job for that to happen. Peyton List and Tony Curren are impressive (especially Curren --- he exudes a hardened menace that has no camp or cheesy overtone, just immorality), and Ed Anderson creates a few very nice , very daring, stylistic touches along the way --- the biggest being how the color of the movie gradually washes all the way out to almost pure white, matching the anonymous blonde hair and pumps Mel and Jules eventually get handed.For a far cheesier, far more violent, far more exploitational, and far less well-acted film, check out "Red Ridge."

spotlightne So okay here goes. Crazy bus driver takes a handful of 'kids' (late 20s to early 30s) and one timid middle-aged guy, hostage.He threatens them with violence and a gun. But get this, the 'kids' have countless opportunities to get away, but would rather make life more difficult by choosing not to.I promise, you'll scream at how pathetic these people are. I could only make it 50 minutes in and I had to skip to the end. I wasn't going to waste a further 40 minutes of my life on it. But let me just say, the conclusion was utterly stupid.What a stinker this movie is. Unlikeable and unmemorable characters.Bad acting, particularly by the timid guy and the bus driver. Truly awful. A very stupid plot.All in all I couldn't care what happened to these idiots, or the man with the gun. Boring beyond belief.I understand there's torture porn in this film. Do you know something, who cares!? Not me. Awful film. Just 1 out of 10.
