Dylan is trying to solve a mystery from ten years ago. There was an accident between a taxi and a car. The taxi ran into the back of a second vehicle and the driver left the taxi. Dylan and a detective have not been able to find out what happened in this accident? Dylan works at a funeral home, he’s sad when the deceased person doesn’t have anyone attend their funeral. He jokes with the owner that no one would come to Dylan’s funeral? They place a funeral notice in the paper and Dylan pretends to be dead in a casket. Two women come to the viewing, his former girlfriend and a stranger. He follows the stranger to see who she is and it turns out she is a drug addict living in a seedy room.
Trying to keep the suspense creates a major problem with this film. For nearly the entire movie, you don’t know who the passengers were in the taxi? Scenes go back and forth through Dylan’s dreams. Some details are revealed but there are too many mix-ups in the screenplay. 3* (This movie is OK)
