Tony Scott Variety Olsen's and Schwartz's inside joke leads on and on as they divertingly shag the dog, and it's all as meaningful as the telefilm's title. Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

dave j Cab driver, Ben (Michael Nouri) helps and aids woman, Venessa (Joanna Pacula) who viewers think is an escort from snowy Detroit to snowy Seattle after she accidentally kills a powerful senator, with Quinn (Michael Ironside) right behind her. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member From the writers of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" and "Faces of Death" 1, 2 and 3. Joanna Pacula is a call girl who is being chased by rogue government spook Michael Ironside. Luckily for Pacula she's gorgeous and catches the eye of a ponytailed taxi driver, Michael Nouri, who's really a writer and only doing the taxi job as a side thing. It's all very stupid, but I've always liked Joanna Pacula, even though I sometimes get her confused with Amanda Payes, and Michael Ironside is always good playing the same snarling villain, which was enough to make me record this movie and watch it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Detroit cab driver takes a fare to drive woman on the run to Seattle. While not a great film, I did enjoy the brief "V" reunion of Ironside and Jones. I was hoping to get an update on the fate of the cabbie's fish as the guy left in charge of feeding it in his absence was killed and no alternate arrangements appear to have been made. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A politician's mistress flees with a cab driver from deadly pursuit after the Congressman is found dead in her apartment. Indistinguishable direct-to-video release with a cast of direct-to-video stalwarts. The only thing I found notable here is the brief reunion of 'V' buddies Michael Ironside and Mickey Jones.
