After a successful bank heist, four criminals are trapped in a rest stop. Surrounded by road blocks, all they can do is stash the loot, and what better place than on top of a family mini-van, on it's way to a camping trip. With the police behind them, the race is on to get their money, before the family discovers what's on top of their car. Jim Caviezel stars, and while he will always be remembered for his role in The Passion, he is actually a pretty successful actor. He's terrific in his hit TV show, Person of Interest, and has done a ton of independent films like this one. As the father, trying to escape a dark past, Caviezel is amazing as the simple father, turned action star, once his family is threatened. Also of note is his older son, played by Sterling Knight. Knight is a blond haired, blue eyed, Disney star known best for his role in 17 Again. To see this tween idol playing a angst filled teen, smoking pot, dropping F bombs, and shooting shot guns, really did give me quite a good laugh. Transit is your typical action chase film, with two exceptions, one, a very interesting back story, and two a top star, who seems to enjoy staying below the grid in Hollywood. It's not much different from all the other Action films you've seen, but it has it's moments, and it was definitely fun to watch.

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".

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.

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.
