The Fare (2018)

Posted on by
When a charming woman named Penny climbs into his taxi, Harris finds himself entranced. That is, right up until she disappears from the back seat without a trace. As he desperately tries to make sense of what happened, he resets his meter and is instantly brought back to the moment she first climbed into his cab.
Soon, Harris (don’t call him Harry) and Penny find themselves trapped in an endless loop that just might change their lives forever.

This is the second film for director D.C. Hamilton, who worked with writer Brinna Kelly on The Midnight Man. They’ve teamed up again for this film and Kelly also stars as Penny.

Basically, it’s a conversation that begins again and again between two characters. Major points for having Jack Kirby be such a big part of their back and forth, which I doubt any normal people would use as the focal point of a conversation, but hey, I’m a Kirby fan. It reminds me of the Tarantino script doctored Silver Surfer discussion in Crimson Tide that seems to come out of left field.

The look of this film is heads and shoulders above most released to streaming movies and the idea and execution are, too. An intriguing little film that you should check out for yourself, The Fare is available on demand and on blu ray from Epic Pictures.
