The bad guy is praised. Baby killer at that. The bad guy is praised. Baby killer at that. The bad guy is praised. Baby killer at that.

Came across this randomly on Amazon Prime, and I'm really surprised at the low rating on this film so far. It kept me engaged from beginning to end which is something I can't often say. Definitely an overlooked, gritty experience in the same vein as something like Good Times, with a little bit of a Collateral vibe thrown in. I wish they would have fleshed out Gaffigan's character a bit, but as an actor he did a way better job than I would have expected. Overall solid movie that I would definitely recommend.

Cam (Jim Gaffigan) is a HAIL (Uber/Lyft) driver who has trouble making ends meet. He has alimony and child support payments and has run out of options. He has been driving around a drug dealer (Robbie Jones) for two hundred dollars a night. He gets the idea to kidnap the dealer's child and ransom him. It does not go well. I liked the acting. The film had a few good scenes and too many scenes that went nowhere. The plot wasn't great. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

His range is so unexpected?? but amazing?? he makes you feel for his character so deeply even though he's betraying your trust every chance he gets. amazing paradox and references to much broader current events.

Wow Jim is a great actor! Well done. Gut wrenching plot. I liked it.

Didn't fancy this film thought it was going to be a "b" movie but I was very wrong. Acting by the lead and supporting actor was at a very high standard along with the direction and cinematography the story was also very good, my wife and I scored this a 6 but could have been an 8 but one part of the movie frustrated us both hence why my scoring dropped I cant elaborate on that drop as I will spoil the movie. I'd recommend this movie as the story and acting is first class.

I don't leave many movie reviews, but felt like this deserved one. The story moves at a quick pace with lots of WTF moments, and the main actors play their parts very well. Its difficult not to feel sorry for the cab driver, even though he doesn't deserve any sympathy for his insane actions throughout, the acting is superb!

I couldn't find anything to watch tonight, and I saw this film mentioned on a clip with Gaffigan on The Late Show from earlier in the year, and after reading a pretty glowing review by Richard Roeper on rogerebert I thought I'd give it 20 minutes, and look elsewhere if it wasn't engaging. But engaging is just the right word to describe it. It was gritty without being OTT, with solid performances, great dialogue and direction, though I have to admit the plot was a bit on the far-fetched side, but there are plenty of good action movies guilty of that. So glad I gave it a chance, and though I doubt I'll ever watch it again, I'll definitely remember it.

Idea of the movie was ok , but very poor execute..... Budget i hope is not more than 20k .... Cant be .... one of the worst movies made recently ... Even after first 45-mins you know how the film will end.
