How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:5

Fresh:4

Rotten:1

Average Rating:6.8/10

Consensus: While this debut by Edward Anderson is economical and occasionally effective, Shuttle offers little catharsis after its tense ride.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong violence, terror, language and brief nudity.

Runtime: 1 hr 46 mins

Genre: Dramas

Theatrical Release:Mar 6, 2009 Limited

Synopsis: When Jules (Cameron Goodman) and Mel (Peyton List) return from a girls’ weekend vacation, they find themselves stranded at the airport, late on a rain-drenched night. Wanting just to get home... When Jules (Cameron Goodman) and Mel (Peyton List) return from a girls’ weekend vacation, they find themselves stranded at the airport, late on a rain-drenched night. Wanting just to get home safe and sound, they board an airport shuttle with a helpful, friendly driver (Tony Curran) for the short trip... that turns out to be anything but safe. From writer-director Edward Anderson, making his directorial debut, comes a terrifying thriller about a night that starts like any other, and a ride home that descends into darkness. --© Truly Indie [More]

The film is an efficiently engineered mechanism for creating suspense.

There is no release for the audience, no 'entertainment,' not even much action excitement. Just a remorseless march into the dark.

Shuttle mostly exists, in the words of Alfred Hitchcock, to 'put the audience through it,' but it leaves you in a very different place than where it started and with remarkable economy of effort.

If you step aboard Shuttle, be prepared for one heck of a ride filled with suspense, action and ever-escalating terror. With this ingenious thriller, Edward Anderson, who wrote the heist flick Flawless, makes an audacious directorial debut.

A decently twisty indie thriller about hostages lured aboard an airport minivan whose destination is nowhere pleasant.
