If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then a lot of people must really like this movie. The amount of times I have seen what is now called Matrix-style action in other movies and shows is quite something.
Some people might dislike the fact that other people seem to be copying it left and right. I don't mind. I loved the Matrix; why wouldn't I want to see more?
Great acting (even by Keanu! weird) and a fine overall movie. If you haven't seen it yet, shame on you. 9.5/10 on My Personal Scale.

A friend and I picked this movie for our usual Crappy Movie Friday, It's called Hellcab, the back says something about unusual/mysterious passengers, so you can't miss, right?
Well, it happened. Sure, we had planned for it, but we'd more or less forgotten our plan. "What if," we had figured, "what if we rent a movie that we -mistake- for a crappy movie and it turns out to be good?" That situation came up. We watched the movie in relative silence (as opposed to our usual nonstop riffage) and in the end found we really liked it. It wasn't horror at all. It wasn't anywhere near crappy. What to do?
We still don't know. But what I know anyway was that I really enjoyed it. The Cab Driver is a great actor and his facial expressions speak volumes. Oh, and John Cusack is hilarious and very creepy as the Scary Guy. (Too bad his role is so brief!)
Check this one out! Don't mistake it for a horror flick! 8.5 out of 10 on My Personal Scale.

but it'd make a great episode of the Outer Limits (a show which I think is about aliens FAR too often).
The performances were good and while it wasn't really a scary movie at all some scenes were admittedly creepy. The ending was a bit too abrupt for me (one of those "what! that's IT?!" endings) and one has to wonder where his parents were in all of the shenanigans and goings-on. You see them a few times in the movie but about two-thirds of the way through they basically vanish.
Like I said above, it'd be a good episode of something, but it wasn't really a great movie. 6/10 on My Personal Scale.
