Transit

Transit to Hell and Back
Extremely good movie for it's type. Don't want to say too much and spoil it. A family unknowningly ends up transporting stolen money thru a roadblock and the crooks need to get it back. What happens after is non-stop action. What's really great is that the plot has no major flaws in it. No obvious "That doesn't make sense..." situations. Nothing profound here, just the crooks rather violently try to get the money back. It's entertaining, and you want to see how it turns out. The criminals are ruthless. The family while not necessarily endearing (obviously there is not a lot of room for character development), will have you rooting for them. In fact I found myself sympathizing with the father in his efforts to save his marraige and pull his family together given his sordid past. The acting is solid.

I haven't rated a movie 5 stars before, but if you are just looking to be entertained, you're not wasting your money here (if this type of movie appeals to you). I have...

A guilty pleasure!
This movie is part of Cinemax's transition to an all action and thriller network. It is definitely a late night type movie but I love movies like this. The story is full of holes but who cares? The action never stops and all the actors are familiar faces. Highly recommended if you enjoy the late night thriller type of movie.

A New Respect for Shaky Cameras
Normally, I absolutely loathe the "shaky" camera technique and quick cut aways. But it definitely made this movie work and without it I think movie would of bombed. It was surprised how well it worked. I have a completely new respect for the filming method.
