Cab Driver Mitch Lawrence (Rob Lowe), diagnosed with interminable cancer and given less than six months to live, decides to take up a $50,000 offer from his client Lou Webber (Joe Mantegna) to eliminate a drug dealer who is stalking him. Reluctantly Mitch, who needs the cash for his family, commits the murder, and then his whole life goes into a tailspin. This is a very good movie until perhaps the last third, when the plot sadly degenerates into a 'let's chase and catch the bad guy' sequence. Any movie with Joe Mantegna is usually a plus point but in this case, he is sadly out of form and his character under developed.
