What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Mel, Jules, and the other passengers are trapped in a shuttle that leaves familiar streets for deserted locations.
The driver controls the route and repeatedly explains the shuttle's increasingly suspicious detours.
The nervous accountant, aggressive frat boys, and driver each become possible sources of danger as the ride deteriorates.
A routine late-night airport transfer turns into an apparently organized threat involving guns, knives, chains, and medication.
