Review of Chicago Cab

Chicago Cab (1997)
9/10
Yet another bad title change....
6 June 1999
Here's another decent drama worth renting on video despite a horrendous title change. It's a straight-forward enough drama with a huge revolving door for characters to come and go. Among the best: John Cusack (if only he'd have this much fun in his 'real' films!) and (I hope this is correct) Reginald Hayes (the last guy the cabbie picks up). He's in the last 10 minutes or so of the film and his performance is so gentle, so measured, so touchingly-perfect that if I were a casting director I'd hire him without reservation. If you rent this film and don't care much for it, fast forward to the end. You'll really be missing something if you miss his performance. OVERALL FILM GRADE: B
