I'd never heard of this short that came out in 1999, I think it was a Channel 4 short. There are some familiar faces to UK viewers, Patsy Palmer and Paul Nichols from Eastenders and Ewan Bremner from Trainspotting among other films, plus the always amazing David Thewlis who was in one of my favourite movies, 'Naked'. It's a harsh look at a day in the life of a cab driver and some junkies, but in 15 minutes of film. The film starts with Jamie Foreman talking about an obviously violent evening before he has some news that his girlfriend is going to give birth any time. I was sad it ended so soon, but I found it short, sharp and it left me thinking about what I'd seen when it finished. Which is always a good thing. Harrowing and thoughtful and worth a watch for the decent acting, decent camera work and good editing.
