A dysfunctional family on a cross country road trip have four million dollars in stolen cash stashed in the back of their car. The vicious robbers who planted said loot go after them. Director Antonio Negret, working from a tight script by Michael Gilvary, relates the gripping story at a constant snappy pace, vividly captures the unsparingly harsh and sticky heat of Louisiana, builds plenty of tension, and stages the rousing vehicular carnage with rip-roaring brio and skill. Moreover, Negret brings an admirably mean'n'lean straightforward style to the fiercely streamlined material: There's no filler, the momentum doesn't flag for a second, every moment counts, and the entire feature clocks in at a terse 88 minutes. The bad guys are a memorably scurvy lot: James Frain as ruthless leader Marek, Diora Bird as the feisty Arielle, Ryan Donowho as antsy wheelman Evers, and Harold Perrineau as hot-tempered brute Losada. The rest of the cast are likewise excellent: Jim Caviezel as troubled and resourceful ex-con dad Nate, Elisabeth Rohm as loyal mom Robyn, and Sterling Knight as surly teen son Shane. Both Christopher Westlake's pulse-pounding score and Yaron Levy's sharp lively cinematography add a further galvanizing kick to this nifty little B flick winner.

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.

When i began to watch i had high hopes. They were quickly changed.My first and main problem with this film is that it's just stupid. The characters actions are completely illogical the majority of the time. First of all the gang of criminals decide to force the car off the road in broad daylight instead waiting to take it from the family without them knowing. They could have even stopped them and taken the money in a very indiscreet way which still had a happy ending for everyone by just taking the money from the family. I'm sure they would have handed it over very easily!Second point, the teenage boy blames his dad for everything when in actual fact i would blame the mother. She kicked Jim's character out of the car without letting him defend himself to prove him being innocent. This leads to him having a few fingers cut off, the family being held hostage and a few bloody noses.I could go on and on but i'm going to skip to the end of the movie. A guy gets shot with an AK47 at close range and still manages to survive. Then the ONE clip of AK47 rounds is unleashed at 2 members of the gang for what seemed like a very long time. Surely she would have run out of ammo sooner. This is my first review so i'm sorry if its rubbish. But hey, i don't really give a toss.

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.
