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.

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.

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.

I like how this movie was well explained and the ending was appropriate with how the story goes, all I can say is this is a must watch, great acting by the 2 main characters...

I rated this an 8/10 because all the holes in the story was explained and it does leave you satisfied and entertained which is what a movie should give you.

a recommended one from me.

Great acting, great story and not as predictable as I thought it was going to be going in. This kept me intrigued the whole time as I continually tried to figure out what was going on. Been a while since I watched a movie like this. A good romantic date movie
