Transit (2012)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Great Film overall

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I don't know how this has 5.8 stars? Although I do like the cast, the movie was awful. How do you rob $4 million dollars then become a complete group of idiots trying to get it back? How does a cop get hit by a loud muscle car on a quiet country road? He didn't hear it coming? I'm all for cheesy action movies, but this was just bad.

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.

Good premise, decent acting. Maybe if you're smoking dope (a lot of dope) this movie would make some sense. At least the film was consistent - every one of the characters' choices made no sense whatever. It's like one of those horror films where all the victims set themselves up to be murdered. I wouldn't recommend this film to a dog. My dog watched for 15 minutes and fell asleep. From the attempt to run the family off the road, to the husband taking off into the swamp for NO apparent reason. Lots of nonsensical automatic weapons. The plant of an idea with the wedding band, gave me a slight hope of foreshadowing but alas, the husband acted more like it was a paper cut. I don't blame the actors, but the direction and the writing. Somebody should have been looking over their shoulders saying "no, no that does not make sense". Oh yes, was the van overheating or not?

If you like Detroit Muscle, you'll probably like this movie. The director knows what guys like in a movie, (and it's a guy flick) and puts it on the screen in style. There's a couple of brutal fights, a bit of blood here and there, (no boobs though) and then there is the murdered out Chevelle. There are burnouts, mad driving in traffic, it gets sideways, it does high speed 180's. It sounds wicked and the driver likes to push it to it's limits. Makes ya want to look on craigslist and buy some old muscle car and show the kiddies what a real tire-smoking, gas guzzling machine is supposed to sound like. lol. The plot was thin but tolerable, the acting was decent, the car was great. Nuff said.
