Signal Seven

About This Movie

So, Signal Seven is this lesser-known drama from '86 that dives into the lives of two cabbies in San Francisco, Marty and Speed. It's got this gritty, almost melancholy vibe, as they cling to their dreams of acting while navigating the tough streets. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow; moments of stark realism, then they lighten up with camaraderie among fellow drivers. There's a real sense of brotherhood, shaped by the stories they share and the cards they play. It’s not flashy, but the performances are genuine and really draw you in. The atmosphere captures that gritty edge of the city, and the whole thing feels just a bit raw, which adds to its charm. Not your typical cab drama.

Features strong character-driven storytelling. · Gritty representation of 1980s San Francisco. · Explores themes of friendship and aspiration.
