It's 6 a.m. and 20 degrees below zero on a December morning in Chicago and a cab driver picks up his day's first passengers. This represents 14 hours in the life of a cab driver as he picks up fares from the good and bad parts of the city while emotionally connecting to many of his passengers including a depressed rape victim, stoners, randy lawyers, a drug runner and a race to get a pregnant woman to the hospital. The film was based on the play "Hellcab" by Will Kern and was misleadingly marketed as a horror film, which it's not. "Chicago Cab" is interesting and well done and while we don't learn anything too specific about the cab driver, the personalities of his various fares are revealing.
