Mischief810 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.
R Smith Don't even bother wasting your time on this nonsense. It is highly predictable and a waste of an hour and a half.This genre has been done do many times before and the director just failed to add anything new. To be fair, the acting was OK and can't really be faulted, and even the general story line was OK although it could have been done so much better. Everything about the decisions that the characters make throughout the film makes you want to shout at the screen. I just don't understand how a man can go from playing Jesus in the Passion of the Christ to this. The only way I can really describe the film is "nonsense".
TdSmth5 A bunch of thugs orchestrate an armored car robbery, killing the guards in the process. The next morning on the run with the money, they find out through their police scanner that there's a roadblock ahead so they decide to park at a rest stop. When an SUV packed with luggage on the roof parks nearby they get an idea- exchange their package with a piece of luggage from the SUV, follow the owner and later pick up the money. The plan works well, the SUV goes through the roadblock and so do the bad guys despite misgivings by the police.But when it comes to getting the money back, the bad guys get impatient and lose it. They try to drive the SUV off the road at a speed trap. The driver of the SUV is caught and because he's on parole, he's jailed. His family rents two rooms in a motel. The bad guys break into one of them but it's the room that doesn't have the money. The police arrive and the bad guys leave. Once again they have to catch up with the family later to get the money. When the wife by accident discovers the money, she blames the husband who was previously jailed for white collar crime. She leaves him with the money in the middle of the road and drives with the two sons away. He hides the money and has to figure out how to get his family back with whom the bad guys have caught up.Transit is one of the better movies of the genre. It has plenty of good action and violence but it's also intelligent as the father and his nemesis figure out ways to outsmart each other. The cast is excellent: Caviezel, Röhm, Frain shine in their roles. The bad guy is bad and you can't wait for him to face justice while Caviezel is immensely likable. This is a B movie like they used to make them decades ago- a good cast, good story, well-made-- just barely below an A level movie. I enjoyed that almost the entire movie takes place outdoors in Louisiana.
sadman sakib I watched the movie because Jim Caviezel is in it. The movie is not that bad, but could be better. One thing I am wondering about is that how an ordinary woman can shoot that good with an ak47? And how can a person stays alive if his/her car blows off? There are also some other parts that confused me. I can not say those here. You will understand if you watch the movie.The concept is good. So is the acting. This movie will not waste anybody's time that much. It will certainly entertain the viewers to a level. But I am sorry to say that it is not a movie to remember.So guys, you may watch it, and have a good time..
