    Solid B Movie

    This is the best B movie I have ever seen! It totally embraced its B-movie-ness with excessive fake blood, numerous slow-motion shots, the gratuitous sex scene, '70s-looking credits, and over-the-top acting (LOVE the gym teacher!). I feel like what Scream was to horror movies, Bus Driver is to action movies. These people know they're making something campy, and they go for it full-throttle. I found this movie quite enjoyable and entertaining. It felt good to laugh and escape for 75 minutes!

    You have to be pretty forgiving with this one.

    This really isn't that bad. It looks quite cheap but after seeing the title card I can almost believe this came out in the 1970's. If there wasn't a few cell phone references in the beginning this could have taken place in 1977 or something. That really would have worked in it's favour.

    The plot isn't particularly new. A bus carrying a few teachers and some troubled teens crashes, and the group looks for help in a nest of drug cartel types. But wouldn't you know it? The bus driver is some sort of ex military ass kicker.

    It's pretty fun. There's a few nice stylistic shots, some good violent fights and some well needed nudity and some good lines. The film knows it's place and tries to tick all the boxes. The main characters are decent enough; they don't aimlessly bicker like we see in low budget horror, which is a nice change.

    I'd recommend this if you like low budget action from the 70's and 80's. It isn't a good movie by critical or mainstream standards. But the plot is pretty tight and the characters deal with the situation in believable and proactive ways. Which is all one can ask of any movie.

    This is abysmal, so much potential, and completely...

    This is abysmal, so much potential, and completely wasted, if your into 'B' movies of the worst kind this is for you, the entire plot has been sacrificed to something unintelligible to those over 14 years old, avoid this and watch paint dry, it's much more exciting.

    The director of this movie is yet to learn how to grab an audience to what he/she wants to impart to you, the viewer.

    the leading character is a loud mouthed small guy trying to be a big guy and failing miserably...kids on a school bus ?..if their in their late twenties that's a stretch...and casting Robert Forster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Forster a much respected actor as the hero ??..sorry, that just didn't work for me.

    This is Hollywood at it's worst, avoid this unless your getting it for nothing..

    Enjoyable light-hearted action.

    I really enjoyed this. It's got a bit of everything, and is as entertaining as!! It has characters that are all misfits, a hilarious gym teacher, a tough guy, sex addict, meth addict, and a bit of "Steven Segal" (as the movie referenced at one point.) and a bunch of bad guys. I think the story and details were well thought out, especially knowing how some movies go. And unlike a lot of "B-Action", (I hope it's OK to call it that), this movie didn't have too many laughably unbelievable moments.

    If you've seen always sunny in Philadelphia than you'll understand what I mean when I say (it feels like) Mac and Charley wrote this script and than directed this movie. And that is why its 10 stars
