It's interesting how small budget movie with good script and actors can be a decent thriller. Chariot sets exclusively in one spot. The ensuing human drama between characters stuck together without their consent can be fascinating. However, it plays out the premise too long and when the jig is up, there are several twists which hamper the logic.
Several people wake up in a plane, not knowing how or why they are on board. Using classic mystery thriller, their personalities clash as everyone reacts to this predicament differently. There's not much in term of technical since it's a straightforward ride, so much of the burden rest on the actors, who perform admirably.
Characters are quite convincing. Some might react in life-threatening manner, but they cover the bases for thriller well and the scenes play out affably. As problems start to appear, such as how long they can sustain flight or the inherent question about the motive, situation escalates with more bickering. Arguments start to get physical and this is where things become far fetch.
It is later revealed that the people are there for a secret government test. However, some of them are actually killed and it's just contradicting the actual purpose of this emergency aerial ark. The men and women involved are risking their lives without insurance. While national security is definitely a serious business, they can at least switch the gun to fire blanks or doesn't use missing plane that might get shot down without proper failsafe. It won't matter to the result if they are dead from random variable that can be solved by proper communication.
This is a pleasantly pretty intriguing flight but it runs out of fuel towards the end and doesn't culminate in satisfying conclusion.
