Night taxi

About This Movie

Night Taxi is one of those curious gems from the late '90s animation scene. The film weaves a gritty narrative around a taxi driver’s fateful encounter on 42nd Street, which leads to a death sentence. The animation style, with its shadowy, noir-like atmosphere, enhances the tension and sense of dread throughout. It’s not your typical thrill ride; the pacing can be a little offbeat, but that adds to its unsettling charm. Practical effects create a visceral feel, which is somewhat rare for its time. Slacks, the taxi driver, becomes a tragic figure, embodying themes of fate and consequence. The voice performances bring an edge to the characters, making their surreal world feel oddly relatable.
