I'm not really sure why this one's called Transit.
It's basically a "family camping trip meets gang of murderous thieves on the run" kind of movie, of the "typically low budget and not too taxing on the brain" variety.
Jim Caviezel was a weird pick as Jesus, in Passion of the Christ. We know that now, because he's been in nothing but rubbish since that film. And this is just one part of that collection of trash.
He plays the father taking his wife and kids on a camping trip, only to bump into a quartet running from the law after robbing an armored truck in Baton Rouge.
It's one of those lame films where every car chase shows shots of the car's speedometer as the needle spurts from 60 to 90, and as the car accelerates further, again shows the needle still heading toward 90.
The location adds the unfulfilled threat of swamps ridden with alligators and inbred locals, although following through on those threats would have meant the filmmakers simply added still more cliches.
