The Fare

It seems to start like Groundhog Day with the same cab 'ride' repeating and repeating, but it spirals off fairly quickly to something that you'd never guess. The ending was a little off the charts, as there were other directions it could have gone, but it didn't go Hollywood. That's a good thing. It was very melancholy at the end. Kinda almost wished for Hollywood. Two unknown actors, he was the better of the two, but she was very pleasant to look at. Whereas Groundhog Day you can watch over and over for the comedic bits, this had almost none, and for me was a one time watch - but not wasted.

Surprisingly good. I didn't have high hopes for this but the story is very interesting and the twist at the ending worked really well. The acting is great as well. By the end of the film you start feeling for the characters.

This feels alot like a longer Twilight Zone episode. I didnt have high expectations going in to it but was pleasantly surprised. At less than 90 minutes long, you dont need to invest alot of time to watch it. Brinna Kelly is beautiful and really made the movie for me. You as the viewer can almost fall in love with her character. There was one special effects like 3D rendered shot of the cab going through the desert that that stood out as bad, but all the rest of the effects were fine. Being so short and a bit thin, this could have easily worked as a tv epiosde too. Id recommend anyone giving this movie a chance if you like Twilight Zone.

Cab drivers ... I reckon they have certain deja vus. They take a passenger and they feel like they've had them before. In this case, the movie goes a bit further - no pun intended.

Interesting approach and very well acted. If you like B-movies with high concept, you could do a lot worse. I do not want to go into details, because the story is quite easy to spoil. You will get into it rather fast ... while at first maybe bewildered and questioning what you see - it all will be made clear. Slowly ... but surely.

It's hard to write too much about this movie without spoiling it a bit. I'm watching it a second time and so impressed with all the hints and details.

So many movies are called "hidden gems" when actually a lot of people know them - they might not be mainstream but are easily accessible with recognizable stars. This one is actually under the radar and likely made for a very small budget but it's so clever and well-done - highly highly recommend it, and kudos to the folks who pulled it off. It's a familiar premise but with a truly original "answer" that delivers.

I'm realizing it sounds like I know someone in the cast or crew but I'm just someone who watches a ton of smaller movies and gets excited when he finds one that actually is surprising and smart and memorable.
