I saw this listed in my TV guide and didn't think much of it - but then I looked it up on IMDb to discover that John Cusack and Julianne Moore, amongst others, had cameos in it - so I... Full review

I'll start by admitting that I am biased in the sense that I am a Pearl Jam fanatic. The songs are what drove me to watch this film, but like Big Fish, I wound up LOVING the movie itself. This... Full review

I remember the night I watched Chicago Cab for the first time. It was a few years ago and it was around 3:00 A.M. As soon as I saw the cab park to pick up the coke head, I was... Full review

Unfortunately I only caught this movie part of the way through on TV, but this movie piqued my interest immediately. Having driven taxi's myself for 13 months straight back in 2000/01 I always like to see what it's like for... Full review

This amazing movie uses both humor and drama to keep the viewer interested. Some of the fares the cab driver pick up are just funny, some scary, and some just plain sad. All of them show the range of human... Full review

I saw this movie around Christmas 2002, it was about 02.00 am, I thought I'd make one more walk around the channels. Then I saw a guy in a cab on BBC, and the colors of the movie seemed okay... Full review

I just finished watching "Chicago Cab" on cable and was moved to post some comments. Though Paul Dillon gets third bill, this is his show.Better known to most of the world for his hilarious role in the first "Austin Powers"... Full review

I have to admit, the first thing that drew me to the film was John Cusack's cameo, as I am and always will be a huge fan of his (read: fanatic). I never thought I would actually fall in love... Full review

Don't let the box art or bad title change fool you (the movie was originally called "Chicago Cab"). This is not a B-horror movie, but an interesting and well done film about a day in the life of a cab... Full review

I have seen my share of independents. I love the standards like Clerks and of course Raising Arizona. I've also seen some of the fringes of independent films, though I am by no means an expert. However, I can say... Full review

Qwipster's Movie Reviews
The play is called "Hellcab," as is the video release, but theatrically and on cable you may have also seen this under the title Chicago Cab, which is more appropriate, as the other title misleads you into thinking this may be a horror flick.
Although there's food for thought here and there throughout Chicago Cab , it is a little too disjointed to derive too much deeper meanings as a whole.
