The film is an efficiently engineered mechanism for creating suspense.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

When the payoff finally arrives, it seems tasteless not just because of its topicality, but because the shock feels unearned.

Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten

There is no release for the audience, no 'entertainment,' not even much action excitement. Just a remorseless march into the dark.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Shuttle mostly exists, in the words of Alfred Hitchcock, to 'put the audience through it,' but it leaves you in a very different place than where it started and with remarkable economy of effort.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh

Shuttle is a grim and twisted exercise in high-stress terror that falls just short of the torture-porn subgenre.

Ted Fry, Seattle Times
