Reviews for Shuttle
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.
