Black Cab
Directed by Bruce Goodison
When Anne and Patrick hail a black cab after a night out, their driver is chatty, jovial even, but they are in no mood to talk. In fact, the couple is barely on speaking terms. That is, until they realize the driver has no intention of taking them home. Locked in the cab with no means of escape, the driver transports the couple to a stretch of deserted and supposedly haunted road. But what is his purpose? Is he mad or just plain evil? And why has he selected Anne and Patrick as his victims?
Nick Frost stars as a menacing cab driver in this haunting new thriller.
Cast: Nick Frost, Synnøve Karlsen, Luke Norris

I did not care abut the passengers story. However the film perfectly portrays how unhinged London black cab drivers are
Decent enough. Nothing to get too excited about though.
Interesting Journey to uncover the truth about the madness of a man.
Unnerving would be the best way for me to describe this film, with the nighttime driving sequences evoking creepy memories of childhood. Nick Frost does a lot of the lifting as the cab driver, but Synnøve Karlsen holds her own in a role where more is portrayed through her expressions and body language than the words she speaks. The story is uneven, but the performances make up for much of it, creating a film that is uncomfortable due to the realism that grounds most of its runtime.
Liked it for the most part. Little wonky here and there. Nick Frost was great, liked the premise, but the 3 act fails. Worth a watch if you really like Nick Frost, but you'll struggle along the way.
