Was there a twist for you? *spoilers obviously*

I anticipated both twiststhe accomplice and the ultimate intention of the bad guys. When I saw what Mel was made to buy in the store, I knew that someone was going to be held captive somewhere. However, I still thought it was an interesting film and I did want to see if Mel would escape or not.

I didn't suspect the driver's intentions, I admit. I thought he just wanted ransom at first, then when he seemed to be protecting the girls but hacking away at the boys, I kind of figured he wanted the girls for sexy toys, torture or maybe for a couple local clients. I didn't think the end was that much of a twist considering everything that transpired.
I did, however, always kind of suspect Andy, the wimp of being in on it. He seemed too passive and unwilling to even save his own life even when he had an opening, especially with the driver having his back turned to all actions of the passengers. I kept waiting for him to show his hand after the driver slashed Seth in the face instead of him. -

Not having a happy ending is not a twist. It's just a different ending choice, a twist is something that changes how you interpret the rest of the movie like Bruce Willis being dead or Brad Pitt being in Ed Nortons head. A sad ending is simply that, a sad ending.

I didn't except for them to be sold. I kinda figured that when he made them strip down.
But I also ecpected that guy to be an accomplish when he was on the bus. Then my husband argued with me. And the guy was acting and pretending to be all scared and a cry baby. So I started to agree with my husband. Until he revealed himself I was like TOLD YOU!!!! -

The sex slave connection was readily apparent from early on largely because the issue has become fodder for movie producers in the last few years.
The "twist" ending for me was the motion sickness pills and the other items in the shipping crate. I also liked seeing a tormentor who was tormented by the thought of hurting women - he did what he did for the paycheck. -

Hmmm That's interesting. I don't see anything special about it. "He was tormented by the thought of hurting women." It's almost cliche. What about the men? How did he feel about hurting those men? The guy and his fingers, the guy who got ran over and back, the guy whose throat got slit? The only reason why the tormenter "was tormented by the thought of hurting women" was because the movie wanted audiences like you to feel how "special" the movie is when, in fact, it's just tricking you into thinking that. The fact that he's tormented by the thought of hurting women was too one-sided; it felt forced. -

I saw it coming right away and feel surprised if anyone didn't. It hit me right at the part where the driver didn't seem to want the guys to come in. It became more and more obvious throughout the movie. The things his accomplice said made it so clear it was like it was slapping me in the face. Let's not forget the part where he makes that guy get his hand injured and how he only attacked the guys. He didn't want the girls to be cut up because they are the merchandise and he can't sell damaged goods.

I definitely didn't realize the twist ending in that it was human trafficking until somewhere in the middle but I knew something was weird when the driver didnt want to pick up the two guys. I knew from the very beginning that something was up with that other male passenger. I knew he had to be bad and thought maybe he was in on it, didn't trust him at all but god did I hate his fake character, so annoying and what a wimp he was. Glad he got offed. His fake character was just too unrealistic to be real, I knew he was faking it. Who could be THAT submissive to some crazy kidnapper guy.

I didn't figure out the accomplice or the ultimate intentions. I thought Andy was just the stereotypical annoyance that would be killed off pretty early. I didn't do much reading on the film, so any info on foreign countries failed to register "sex trafficking" with me.
I knew it wasn't going to be a simple robbery, but I didn't catch the "twist" at the end until they were being inspected in their lingerie. The litter box was a nice touch.

the sex traffic idea was one of the first thoughts that struck me when the driver tried so hard to pick them up - the other man became an obvious possibility later on - the two young men were eliminated as villains once the first guy was injured
i didn't expect the ending - however - the best part of the movie - outside of gazing at Cameron Goodman -

To me, this wasn't a twist at all. I don't think we were lead to believe anything else. Money still came into play. It was just a poor ending to a poor movie.
I called the guy being the accomplice though. Maybe it was the fact that he was already on the shuttle? He just seemed odd. -

I totally knew that Andy was in on it. But I incorrectly thought that the plot twist would have been where Andy was forcing the driver to act the villain and that the driver was a victim too.
This would be where the driver's gun was unloaded and Andy was holding a hidden loaded gun. -

I read NOTHING about this movie other then a quick trailer like over a year agofinally popped it in and was quite entertained, though I wasn't a fan of the ending, I still give kudos to the filmmmakers for avoiding the cliche Hollywood ending (you know if there were A-listers, the ending would've been the girl saving her friend, killing the bad guys and sending a nuclear bomb in the box timed to go off as soon as its opened by the bad guys on the other side).
I gotta admit, I can usually see the "twist" coming miles away, but the nervous guy on the bus also being IN on it TOTALLY took me for a loop!
Not sure if its been mentioned, but what are your thoughts of the very end shot of the movie with the red bag suddenly coming out of the airport conveyor belt?? Might be obvious, but I concluded that someone in AIRPORT BAGGAGE is also in on the lookout for vulnerable/desireable girls to kidnap.hence revealing the conspiracy is much LARGER then one might think. Definitely an excellent shot!

I figured out early on that the driver had something awful in mind specifically for the two ladies, but was genuinely surprised when it was revealed that Andy was also in on it.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
