i would definetly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys intelligent, psychological, suspenseful movies. and rob lowe is absolutely gorgeous! but thats just my opinion, see for yourself.

I watched this movie only for Joe Mantegna ( he is an exellent actor , and he always pick good movies ). So , he prooved it again .
Pure cab driver meet a bestselling novelist ( Joe Mantegna ). They become friends . But novelist has one little problem - a violent stalker . Everything becomes too predictable :
1.Novelist need something from the caby. And he does .
2.He is going to pay him , to kill the stalker. And he does - $50.000.
3. To make him do it , writer setting up caby with fake doctor . Come on man , always get second opinion ! You don't have cancer !
4.His wife loosing her job . Can you se now ? He is setting you up !
I was very suprised ! Too predictable . I was wrong ! When caby understood , that he was set up ;he was just a subject of a new novel ... You have to se , how he paid back ! What can I say ? Never think , that you smarter than someone else ... You never know !

For hire is a very good movie. It is very suspenseful, and due to many plot twists, it really keeps your attention. For Hire is a movie about a Novelist who sets up the life of a Taxi Cab driver to be just like his book. This may seem silly, but it makes an excellent movie!
