That was an excellent one.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

In many countries, taxi drivers and companies are involved in suspicious events and deals, but it is usually characteristic to less developed countries, it is hard to believe such things happening in present Holland... Anyway, the logic of the plot is in place, but many scenes and twists are predictable, paving the way for ambivalent ending. Apart from the main character Dennis (pleasantly performed by Frank Lammers), the rest are too trivial or documentary, providing no surprises. You just follow the events on screen, mostly knowing or presuming what happens next, but thanks to length (ca 1,5 hours), the film ends before becoming boring/annoying.Having see dozens of Dutch films, I cannot include it into the best ones. On the other hand, taxi drivers or related persons might appreciate it more.

Six years after this was made and I visited Netherlands (which I do on a regular base) I found this for 1 euro at a famous Record Store (you can guess which one). Somehow the story attracted me and I was right, it was a good flick.I can't tell how the business is played in the world of taxis but I can guess that this showed how it works. Of course it's a flick and things are a bit exaggerated. But still after a while you really get into the character of Dennis (Frank Lammers) and you can see that his dream about having a limo service isn't going to work out. So he is in desperate need for money and makes a few mistakes. The downward spiral starts.I found it well made and the use of the typical music coming from Amsterdam (André Hazes style)did give it an extra feeling. And the ending was okay too. I can understand that people not living in Amsterdam can't understand what's going on and that may be a reason why it never will be picked up widely even as it has English subs. By which I mean, no special (CGI) effects or big explosions, just here and there a fight...Peggy Jane de Schepper (Elize) as seen in Costa (2001) does shows a jugg if you are a quick viewer.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

As a Dutch guy myself i immediately had a connection with this movie because this is a home grown movie.. I like the story and i like the actors in this movie. The main character is a taxi driver and his brother fix the cars in their own garage. They have a dream about starting a Limo taxi service, but they don't have enough money to start this! The most important thing to start this is having a license and they don't have this either. He drives for a taxi company with his own car, that is a bit junkie. When he does not get what he want's from his boss, he joins another local taxi company to work night shifts and he is being connected to a loaner for a new car. Now the misery starts to evolve, and nothing will be the same. On a certain point in the movie you think where is the progression, but on the other hand it will explain a lot. This brothers wife of the main character is a very good looking lady and i am so glad they casted her for this role. I'll be watching this movie again some time, very good!

I am in awe. Normally not a big fan of Dutch films, went to this one because my date is a taxi driver, and being the good girl I am, I agreed to go see it.Wow. The acting, the cinematographic, the music, the setting, the dialogs...it just all came together beautifully. The end was a bit of a shock for me (though any other ending wasn't possible, but the main character is so likable and so real that you just don't want it to end this way and you'll stay in the dark who did it. Just go see! Come on, why are you still sitting there? Go! Go! And let me know what you think of this movie.
