The various passengers (played by John Cusack, Julianne Moore and Laurie Metcalf) highlight the funny, scary, and dreary moments that define a typical work day of a Chicago cab driver.

Audience Reviews for Chicago Cab (Hellcab)

Though not the most enthralling premise for a movie - day in the life of a Chicago cab driver, I kind of liked this slight film.

If you're into "day in the life" movies like CLERKS, then you'd probably get a kick out of this one. It's a "day in the life of a Chicago cabbie." There are some interesting characters he meets along his shift. Very quirky and worth checking out.
