Iranian-American writer and director Ramin Bahrani's third feature is another intimate drama. When an old offers his African cab driver a lot of money for a one trip to the mountains, it doesn't take long for the cab driver to figure out what's his intentions are. During the few days till the fateful day, the two men bond and get to know each other. There's some resemblance of the story to Abbas Kiarostami's "Taste of Cherry" but Bahrani stays true to his vision to show authentic immigrant stories to screen. Solid performances by veteran actor Red West and Souleymane Sy Savane who makes his feature debut. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
