- Quotes
Clayton Minor: Dead of winter. Cold as all hell. A man hails a cab. He slides in, sits in the warmth of the back seat. A few miles down the road, the cab hits a sheet of black ice, starts spinnin' out of control. Headin' towards the edge of the bridge, nothing but blackness below. The driver screams 'we're all gonna die!' The man calmly leans forward and softly says 'could you turn the radio up?'

Aside from just a few plot issues, the pacing could've been a little faster and the 111 min runtime could've used at least 10 mins of trimming. The shaky cam at the start was too obvious and annoying, but got better (or I got used to it) as the film progressed. Nevertheless, for a first time filmmaker, Maggio directed his entire cast perfectly, had a decent score and soundtrack (not the usual loud, overbearing and unfitting score that's typical in every B-film), good cinematography, and kept a constant and effective tone and atmosphere throughout the entire film - a feat that even some seasoned filmmakers sometimes can't get right.
This film is certainly no 10/10, but underserving of anything under a 5/10. As an independent B-film, it's a solid watchable and recommended 7/10 from me, plus the extra bonus star that this was put together by a first-time filmmaker - I mean they have to start somewhere, right, and if this is Maggio's first ever film, I'm excited to see what he comes up with next. Mad props to him and all the crew and cast that helped pull and keep this together - you can tell the top actors weren't there just for the paycheck.
