The Fare

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.

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.

A Time loop movie where a Cab driver picks up the same passenger again and again. Simple movie with, for the most part two actors, but kept me entertained and got better as the movie went on. Felt empathy with the characters and enjoyed the film. Very good low budget movie.

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.
