The Fare

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

It always fascinates me when you can get a whole movie out of basically a single setting.

And this is quite the interesting premise. It's also impossible to talk about without spoiling.

Give it a watch: If you like mysteries or time travel then give this a shot.

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.

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.

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.

This is an interesting story. It is well constructed so even if it starts to feel tedious, it doesn't feel that way long. The actors did a great job and I'm glad I decided to take a chance on it.

I say check it out.
