Chariot

Seven strangers wake up on board a plane, with no idea why they're there, or who their fellow passengers are, it seems as though the world below is gone as they know it, and they must work together to survive.

I honestly had no idea where this was going, or how it was going to end, I was expecting it to turn into a sort of horror, but instead it turned out to be a thriller, shocking to consider it's inspired by real life events.

I can't really understand why this film got a generally negative reaction, surely it's low budget, and some of the acting is a little questionable at times, but this film was packed with intrigue and suspense, you truly had no idea who was involved, or how it was going to end, I thought it was quite well written.

I suppose Cole was the hero of the piece, and probably the best character here, and for my money the best acting performance also.

7/10.

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)

Decent enough acting and gains some initial interest in wondering what exactly is going on, but after the big reveal it becomes quite mundane.

And you do feel robbed off a proper ending as the movie ends with an endings that are open for interpretation with not much really resolved.

For that type of ending to work to movie as a whole have to have been interesting packed of substance through out, but this isn't one of those movies.

So yeah overall not terribly impressive, there are far better air-plane thrillers to watch such as NON-STOP, FLIGHTPLAN, SNAKES ON A PLANE and RED EYE for instance, heck even ALTITUDE and PANIC BUTTON was better than this.

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!

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!
