Despite it's predicabilities, some amateurish bits, more patchy ones from an average script, (a lot of bad, write as you go dialogue, some you can't believe, honestly) Shuttle still manages to come out good, thanks to it's plot, and dark disturbing themes, closer to it's end. Two girlfriends, worn and wearied, from last get together, before one of ties the knot, just wants to get home, only making one dreaded mistake of taking a shuttle, driven by a party who have much more grave plans for our two hotties. Two guys, innocents, who also board the shuttle, just want to get in their pants, so we automatically know what ensues for them. There are a two thrilling moments, one impactful you might say, but really we the audience are more interested in the fate that awaits the girls. One scene may lose you where one girl is forced to dismount the shuttle and buy twenty dollars worth of items. Too, these girls don't listen when ordered not to get out of line. Of course, I knew all about the movie beforehand, and how it eventuated, but I thought there would of been much more to it. The last fifteen grueling minutes, are disturbingly scarring. They will stay in your mind, like a bad aftertaste, in a much grim ending, where I must say, one hasn't affected me like this, for many years. Like I said, the dodgy film can't hide quite a lot of amateurism, but the movie's one hell of a ride, you'll never forget, the final minutes is an all too real example of how slave traders operate, where the film becomes so real. The final scene, one that stays with you, is a killer one, that was imperative to have.

Throughout my life, I have seen a lot of horror movies involving clichés and stupid characters, but, at least in these aspects, "Shuttle" is the master of them. Four actors portray, in here, some of the dumbest characters in movies; these victims had plenty of chances to escape from the psycho, but due to the implausible and exaggerated fear they seemed to have, they went nowhere. These boys and girls just allowed the mad driver doing whatever he wanted to, whilst they were suffering and being tortured all the time. By the way, Cameron Goodman's acting wasn't any convincing AT ALL, considering she never seemed to be that scared in moments that she REALLY should be. My sister in law and I couldn't stop complaining about such flawed plot, like when the girls had gone out of the truck and didn't run away, for some random reason. Also, how is it possible that the psycho driver walked for about 2 or 3 hours around the city and NOBODY appeared in his way? I mean, how abandoned can a city be? So, long story short, "Shuttle" has a very implausible plot and the only thing that can be relatively praised is the fact that none of the girls has gotten hurt, and that wasn't possible to be seen coming. Other than that, this is just AWFUL.

This film is awesome for what it is. Shuttle is not just a typical horror flick to simply get a kick out of it. This is a tragic/horror film that provokes more intellectual thought and empathy rather than just spooks to be enjoyed. The film got me to think about man's cruelty against man, and makes me wonder about all of the women who have been trafficked in real life. Also, this movie has a lot of surprising twists, and kept me guessing until the near end. At that point I could clearly see what was going on by the clues. The end was definitely sick, twisted, an tragic. The movie could be a little far fetched, but it does deliver the message! Shuttle gave me the punch, and I like that. It gets me to think.

There are dumb movies, really dumb movies, movies that are so dumb they are funny and at the height or depths, not sure which, of dumbness there is Shuttle. Without giving too much away take your standard evil psycho vs woman in danger clichés and repeat them over and over with a lot of ridiculously unrealistic circumstances and you have this movie. The directing is tepid. The acting is very uneven but mostly just average. The story is idiotic. There's no suspense or horror here. Just irritation at how dumb it all is. A little bit of humor might have saved this mess but the film makers obviously decided to follow the modern suspense/horror trope of opting for unrelenting bleakness over of any real substance.
