Chariot

Well what can I say about this movie, first off I rarely watch low budget movies, in fact I didn't even realize that this was a low budget movie until I finished watching it and decided to take a peek at what people thought of it.

Wow what can I say a $40,000 budget is to me really simply amazing to come out with such a well done project, the movie is certainly not without flaws but the skills of all involved pull this micro budget off really well.

Bottom line is this movie is a very entertaining time killer and for it to be set on a plane and still keep you interested the whole way through takes some real skill to pull off, plot wise it's not the strongest script to hit the shelfs, but by far nothing worse than most Hollywood big budget movies.

My praise really is not so much the script (not that its bad) but the fact the director/actors and editing is so flawless, basically one of the better movies I've seen in the last 6 months and to find out it was done on a shoe string budget WOW!!

Amazing... please do take time to see this. I downloaded and saw and it was time... no regrets at all... nice suspense... good story line... and... everything comes together (mostly at the end)...

It is nice so please do take time out to see it... doesn't answer all the questions but does answer the right ones!!!

nice acting by all (except the pilot) but overall the concept was very well captured and kept you on the edge of the seat... i actually FF'ed some parts to get to the end quickly... yes it makes you do that...

So if you are bored and have some time for a nice movie...

.... Just relax on a comfy sofa on a nice evening and see it!

Make to mistake, this movie is a typical B-Movie, but one, that even with all the obvious plot-holes keeps you absolutely entertained for the whole run. Visually this movie is great, and the acting it also actually spot-on. The story is fresh, (or at least more original then most of the A-Movies) that we all know. But again, this is not even news, since B-movies got more to prove then all this typical Hollywood flicks. Anyways, the only bad, or not so good part in all this, are the details, not even the story as a whole. Many things seem just completely illogical, as for instance the reaction of the characters to specific dramatic situations. Even thru the flaws in this regard are in my opinion the only big major problem, it will not bore you the slightest. This movie actually managed me to keep me watching to the very end, ( something that Black Mass (2015), totally failed me to do. And that, says something.

Overall, a great B-Movie to watch if you want to kill some time. I'm giving this movie a good 6/10 just because of some IMO big irrational flaws in the script. Otherwise, it would be even a solid 7/10!

PS: don't skip the credits!

If this is based on reality like it says in the beginning of the film, THEN THIS IS PRETTY SCARY!!

Roughly 10 people wake up on a plane not knowing how they got there.

I did like all of the twists and turns that kept us guessing on what was actually happening.

No spoilers here so I'll just say it's definitely worth a watch if you like a psychological mystery thriller?

I'm going to say this is a 6.5 unfortunately I can't rate it that so I'm going to go with a 7. At least that will help bring up the overall score so people will watch it.

It's no Mission Impossible but it was entertaining.

I was extra surprised that this film was from 2013. It didn't look over 10 years odd at all ! (Not even the Cell Phones lol)

Seemingly unrelated people wake up on a plane. Very soon they discover that US is under attack. When a dead body is discovered paranoia kicks in. Could these random people work together to survive? And why were they taken on the first place?

The market these days is flooded with low budget horror movies and most of them have nothing on offer but cheap thrills and weak CGI. CHARIOT is not one of those films. It is focused, compact and cleverly written. You can start watching it out of curiosity and will stay with it until the credits' roll. It has some descent acting and characters you genuinely care about. On the negative side - it is hard to finish the movie like this. The writers put themselves into a corner because every possible ending would ruin the story told so far. So they have chosen the only option available. It is frustrating in a way, but a satisfying one all the same.

It is interesting to see how little money may be required to tell a good story. With the similar premise Liam Neeson movie NON-STOP hitting theaters soon it is interesting to see if the big budget flick can pull a better rabbit out of the same hat!
