Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Pepper Anne By coincidence I had, as another viewer suggested, watched this movie late at night (or rather, early morning) on Christmas Eve. It was a strange little independent production, one about a Chicago cab driver's strange passengers in the course of one Christmas night. It somewhat reminds me of the cool cult classic, 'Night on Earth,' which is similarly about cab drivers and their passengers, except in an international focus (with each of the five stories taking place in five different cities) and emphasizing the ironic or humbling differences between the drivers and the passengers they engage in discussion with. This is somewhat similar in that respect, where the cab driver is pitted against some of the strangest passengers who's few moments in his cab generate much anecdote worthy material.There is no main plot. It is just an array of characters passing in and out of scenes and our lone constant is the somewhat frustrated cab driver. The film is a nice distraction, although viewers might find the incessant strange and overly-aggressive nature of several random passengers to be redundant or tedious. But, just like 'Night on Earth' this is probably destined for some measure of cult fame (which is already evident from the comments posted here on IMDb). The sheer outrageousness of the events and some of the conversation are likely to generate some laughs.

louistheb Well, I've watched it and I was very surprised! Recently I've watched a lot of big Hollywood films which really disappointed me (eg. "Face/Off"). But here comes that little film without any pretension and it turns out to be much better.I wouldn't say it was brilliant but it was quite entertaining. Nothing much is happening but it's just very interesting to see that wide range of people. It was just very well made and had different feelings in it from serious to funny.The production values were also good. I liked the way the plot was shown. The music was good. And all the actors were brilliant. Paul Dillon ("The Pretender") again showed his talented acting skills. He proved that he was not one of those actors who can only play one type of role.Also it didn't try to do too much. Like that girl he tries to help. It didn't turn out to be a cheesy do-gooder plot but it was much more realistic. In fact I'll give it two thumbs up - for a small film it was actually pretty good...

fiveby Great movie, great well-developed characters...honest and interesting. I only wish I could write something this subtle, yet emotive. Gives the feel of a really good documentary, but then real life isn't this engaging. Amazing cast of characters...look for a cameo by John Cusack.

Aero_Faith I think this movie has an all around good look at what is needed most in the world today, human interaction. All the actors played their role wonderful, short or long, and Paul Dillon really made the movie. The cab driver was irresistibly funny, and Paul really brings the movie together. If you want a funny realistic laugh, rent this movie, especially if you've ever taken a cab in Chicago.
