Movie Review "Bus 657"

Synopsis:- When Vaughn asks his boss for a $300,000 loan to pay for his dying little girl's lifesaving operation — yes, it's that kind of movie — he's rudely rebuffed and violently sent packing by Pope's vicious enforcer Dog (Morris Chestnut). So he decides to take up his hulking co-worker Cox's (Dave Bautista, Guardian of the Galaxy and Spectre) offer of joining an inside-job robbery.

Needless to say, the plan goes awry, with Vaughn and his criminal cohorts (including one played by co-screenwriter Stephen Cyrus Sepher) having to hijack a city bus to make their escape. They're hotly pursued by the police — including sympathetic detective Kris (Gina Carano, Haywire), who defies direct orders by letting them get past a roadblock — as well as Pope and his minions, eager to get the gang because the stolen $3 million is illegal laundered money.

On the bus, Vaughn proves himself the voice of sanity, placating the passengers (even the one who pulls a knife on him) and trying to keep the hot-headed Cox under control before violence breaks out.

Review:- Typically it's cool, smart and intriguing, with cracking dialogue, distinctive and deceptive characters, and a crafty plot, but not sexy enough, so Bus 657 has to work hard to attract the younger crowd.
