Bus 44

About This Movie

So, 'Bus 44' is this quiet little drama that feels like a tense character study wrapped in a thriller. The setup is simple: a bus driver and her few passengers find themselves in a high-stakes situation when highway robbers show up. The pacing has a slow burn quality, allowing the tension to build naturally, which might not be for everyone but really lets you dive into the characters' dilemmas. The atmosphere is gritty, almost claustrophobic, making the whole experience kind of immersive. It’s not flashy with effects, sticking to practical elements that heighten the realism. The performances are understated but compelling, especially from the lead—she carries a lot of weight with minimal dialogue. It's the sort of film that lingers, you know?
