A New York taxi driver is obsessed with
conspiracy theories, writing about them in his own independent publication, but he becomes a pursued man when something he writes about is more than just a paranoid
rant.
A good idea for a thriller descends into a
standard chase movie which rips off as many similar films from the 1970's as it can muster.
My opinion of course, and it may be a little
harsh, but this is just lazy filmmaking for an undemanding audience.
