4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful, albeit completely mismarketed, June 18, 2000
...Also known as "Chicago Cab," and based on the play of that name, Hellcab is one of those flicks that follows around a cab driver (Paul Dillon, a fantastic actor who looks like Flea, sounds like Flea two octaves lower, is as well-cast as Flea in the highly-underrated _Dudes_... well, you get the idea) as he picks up fares and wanders in and out of the lives of the passengers. Tight, funny, high-pitched. Small parts from Gillian Anderson, John Cusack (also one of the film's producers), and best actress 2000 nominee Julianne Moore in the kind of scene that makes us realize why she could be nominated for best actress. I mean, she's GOOD. My video store has this under horror, no matter how much I try to get them to change it. It ain't. Comedy/drama, and excellent comedy/drama at that.

Worth seeing!, June 5, 1999
By A Customer
This is one of those movies that you will think about the next day. Not a lot of action, but tense, thought-provoking drama. Reminds me of "My Dinner With Andre'" only in a cab. Lots of dialogue between the innocent cabdriver, played by Paul Dillon (whom I have never seen before) and the many wierdo passengers he picks up on the streets of Chicago. Dillon is also one of the producers and a remarkable actor. Not suitable for children under 15, because it lacks the effects and action younger viewers expect. However, this movie is well-acted and packed with morals and values. Excellent soundtrack with two songs by Pearl Jam. John Cusak,(Executive Producer) appears in the film with Michael Ironside, Gillian Anderson (X-Files), and others. I have a whole new respect for cabdrivers!

This is my all time, hands down, favorite movie, August 23, 2000
I just saw this movie tonight ... . This movie follows the dayof a Chicago cab driver, his passengers, and the brief glimpses of their lives, that make up his. There is no way that I can give you a synopsis of this movie without robbing it of it's genius. Just trust me. If you don't see this movie, you're seriously missing out.
