 2.5/4 |
Boasts a killer premise and better than average acting, so it's all the more disappointing that Anderson proves unable to avoid annoying horror movie pitfalls. Full Review |

Hop aboard this Shuttle if you're in the mood for one unsettling ride. Full Review |

B+ |
The characters are aggressive and mostly smart, the villain is fearsome and hateful, and the premise ('An airport shuttle ride descends into darkness') is brilliantly simple. Full Review |

Well conceived thriller, Shuttle takes the familiar situation and develops it into terrifying ordeal Full Review |
||
|
|
Shuttle could have worked but it is so bogged down with clichés and predictable twists that it comes apart at its illogical seams. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
The film is an efficiently engineered mechanism for creating suspense. Full Review |

When the payoff finally arrives, it seems tasteless not just because of its topicality, but because the shock feels unearned. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
There is no release for the audience, no 'entertainment,' not even much action excitement. Just a remorseless march into the dark. Full Review |
||
|
6.5/10 |
A slightly prosaic and tedious, but mostly chilly and intense ride. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
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. Full Review |

Instead of suspense, we get frustration at the stupidity of the characters. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Shuttle is a grim and twisted exercise in high-stress terror that falls just short of the torture-porn subgenre. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
a pile of stinking turpitude Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
One hell of a terrifying ride ... Full Review |

|
|
Anderson focuses entirely on cat-and-mouse capers, while failing to reflect in any serious way upon the real-world issues that his plot exploits, so the end result is a disappointingly empty exercise in genre. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Solid, effective and perfect for date night. Full Review |
||
|
4.5/5 |
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. Full Review |
