Night Bus

Mostly boring results! You have the 'fly on the wall' point of view throughout this movie. The night bus passengers come and go as the bus travels it's appointed rounds. We the viewer witness conversation and encounters between friends and strangers. This is fun and a bit boring.

At movies end about 90% of the passengers come across as crazy, mad, stupid, frustrated, and confused! No wonder the bus driver stayed behind a plexiglass window! Everyone seemed on edge and about to 'pop'! I'm not going to write here that this movie is bad because it's not. The problem is that it never gets engrossing enough to save you from that feeling of boredom. Then again maybe that is the life of the night bus driver - faces come and go - and you never really get to see the person behind the face. The job is boring, the drivers main objective is to collect fares and get to passengers to their destination. What is happening in their lives is not the focus here.

We see the passengers emotional side and not their whole life. Director: Simon Baker & Writer: Simon Baker surely did this on purpose but unfortunately the end result is not all that entertaining.
