dark humor, Cusack treat
Added 10/4/2009
An admirer of John Cusack, am collecting all of his films. This is a darkly humorous look at the adventures of a cab driver. Cusack's bit was great, but too short.

I reviewed this one before I think. I have never been to a city, in traffic, or in a cab. The people were interesting, and that was really fun to see what it is like to ride around in a cab in a city. That was great.

This is the way it is--and we know that. Film consists of a series of vignettes--as it should, because that's the cab business, the way it is for any cabbie: people get in, people get out--and most you never see again (if you're a cab driver in any big city.)
And yet, this is what hurts the movie. The actors are not to blame, because this is one amazing cast; neither are the directors (there were two; it was co-directed) it comes down to the writing.
The reason Scorcese's Taxi Driver works as well as it does (for the most part) is because the DeNero character did a lot more than just drive around New York dealing with abnoxiius and/or insane fares; there was an actual storyline that went somewhere and took the audiance along for the duration of the ride.

This movie is worth watching. It gives you a glimpse into true humanity through a day in the life of a Chicago cab driver.
