Leave your thoughts about Shortcut.
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievAttack the Block this is not. Shortcut is too violent and foul-mouthed for kids, yet too tame and juvenile for adults, bound to leave horror aficionados indifferent. You’ll be better off watching Jeepers Creepers 2 instead, and that’s really saying something. |
| VarietyCourtney HowardWith lackluster character development, a few ill-conceived situations in the second half and dialogue that sounds like it’s been run through Google Translate, there’s only a modest amount of entertainment value found therein. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe wheels come off Shortcut pretty much the moment the kids have to flee that bus. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAt least this excursion into mediocrity is relatively brief, although, as mentioned, a vastly shorter cut would be much preferred. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsBased solely on its own merits, Shortcut is both an amateurish production and a mindless genre exercise. |
| San Francisco ChronicleCary DarlingThe monster is kind of cheap looking and not particularly scary, the gore is non existent, the acting is variable and the characters tend to make boneheaded decisions. Yet, for all of that, Shortcut does sport a certain moody charm, and at least it has the good sense, at a brisk 80 minutes including end credits, to not wear out its welcome. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001A very unfortunate attempt and full of lousy actors. Calling it disappointing is an understatement. |
