Transit is a must watch, the plot is fast-paced and is literally constantly on the road except for a couple of scenes at a motel.The performances are great and intense, the only problem is the swearing, the writers should have calmed down a bit with that or the editors could have done a bit more work in the editing room. The curse words were too over the top at times.There's a scene that is unexpected and is basically a twist in the movie.The cinematography is artistic with the green tint throughout.Transit is more of a road thriller than an action thriller, there are some guns involved but not enough for it to be labelled an action movie.

This is just outstanding. Transit is action-packed from quick start to exhilarating finish. Jim Caviezel turns in a very good, if not great performance. James Frain is about as evil as a bad guy can get. Throw in admirable performances from Elisabeth Röhm and Diora Baird, plus very good supporting roles from the versatile and talented Harold Perrineau and the ever-menacing Beau Brasso and you have a well cast flick.I honestly don't get the negative reviews. This is an action movie. Don't expect more than a lot of car chases, flying lead and improbable outcomes and you will be thoroughly entertained.The toughness of the characters is really what drives this film, and while the plot may seem improbable, it's still believable. Transit is a fast-paced thriller of a quality normally seen in films with much larger budgets.A minor nit (and the only reason for the spoiler tag) is that the fully automatic Kalishnikov fired by Rohm in the closing scenes is a rare and expensive firearm. It's not something you'd likely find in a fishing camp deep in the bayous and swamps of Louisiana.Other that that little thing, this is one enjoyable movie.

5.7 rating as I write this. Really? This film was AWFUL, an exemplar of bad film making. Characters that make no sense. Criminals smart enough to heist millions of dollars from a security truck apparently left their brains behind. Suburban mum turns in to Rambona, with an everlasting gun clip in her AK47 that she is mostly firing into the sky. Ex-con dad is sprinting around with a bullet wound in his thigh, a severed finger and a machete slash to save the day and reunite his family. A cop is run down and killed by the loudest car in America as he apparently never heard it coming because his back was turned to it. Cliché after cliché, bad film making at it's finest, AVOID.

Here's The Lowedown on "Transit" (A Thriller DVD review)...LIKED IT!!Become a fan of The Lowedown on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Lowedown/386583633764Genre: 8 Movie: 6 What's it about? The camping trip was meant to reunite the Sidwell family. When they are hunted and terrorized by violent bank robbers, their very survival will depend on working together. What did I think? I threw this in my player not expecting much. Then my alarm went off and I woke up to an intense thriller with all the fat trimmed off. Sometimes you want a simple, straightforward approach to a film with no complications or unnecessary twists. When you're in that mood...put this one in your player.
