good back-story, and good acting
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Absolutely Fantastic
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
There's not much to be said because this is just one of those slopped together movies (no offense) that they release to stall for other movies or just a failed attempt at some sort of blockbuster, which then also turns into one of those clichés with predictable outcomes like "the bag is gone" "the villain comes at the most predictable moment to shoot someone or something" "they all make it through at the end alive with minor loss", and of course "the villain dies at the end". Now no offense to those actors but there were times were the just just blew it like what they said or did, what they could of did, the consequences, ETC. so it's just pretty much one of those average low effort/budget with cheap and unforgiving thrills the die out at the worst times.
Transit is an action, driving movie where weak scripts and acting are useless and the only thing good is the location.A family is in ruins after the father has been in jail due to fraud. In their travels a group of dumb ineffective criminals decide to hide their money with their camping gear. After this the movie tries to go Transporter on our minds. High octane car chases ensue and of course the movie tries to do it's thing or lack there of. In a way if it any different this movie would've made a decent start a strong ending but unfortunately it takes a massive acting and script plunge.What's wrong with the acting and scripting? How about a sadistic car driver turned worried Samaritan. A villain who stays in "I'm a villain" mode throughout but somehow pulls this off like lead being a taco. Then a spat between the wife and husband is a whisper fight. Emoting is also nonexistent throughout since the villains also whisper aside from the busty female villain who is actually the only decent actor.Finally we come to the biggest flaw the action scenes. Wanna here the same chords played during an action scene neither do I but apparently the editor does. How about an "extreme" U-turn that has NOTHING of noteworthy value. My favorite however is the lack of an alligator eating anyone. A gun fight which somehow a mom turns into a sharpshooter. Again this movie kills everything it tries to do and then some.Transit is the worst action movie in while no doubt there.
A dysfunctional family decides to get back on the road to functionality with a vacation. Oh no. Enter the bad guys. a formula that to be kind is well, formula. The bad guys are an evil-eyed psycho (that somehow, always manage to get someone to fall in love with them), another that is even worse (he has no woman) and a middle-of-the-road kinda guy who is only a sociopath.The family has a white collar ex-con Father ("it was only mortgage fraud", he says..."Only?," says the cop) a disbelieving nervous wife, who can handle an assault rifle when needed, a foul- mouthed, drug smoking teen (who does make some smart decisions), and a little fella that just loves having Dad back.There are some exciting road antics and shoot-em-ups, a couple of mild twists. But there are way too many close-ups and camera shaking and swirling that is a sign of a low-budget and a talent limited Director.
I watched the movie because Jim Caviezel is in it. The movie is not that bad, but could be better. One thing I am wondering about is that how an ordinary woman can shoot that good with an ak47? And how can a person stays alive if his/her car blows off? There are also some other parts that confused me. I can not say those here. You will understand if you watch the movie.The concept is good. So is the acting. This movie will not waste anybody's time that much. It will certainly entertain the viewers to a level. But I am sorry to say that it is not a movie to remember.So guys, you may watch it, and have a good time..
