Moviegoers are saying
This Djimon Hounsou thriller about a taxi driver and his nightmare passenger divides audiences with its timely social message and constrained road movie format, though most agree it falls short of its ambitious premise. While some viewers connected emotionally with the raw human moments, the majority found it underwhelming despite acknowledging Hounsou's reliable performance and the film's contemporary relevance.

    I was severely Djimon Hounsou baited. Cliché and predictable, don't get on board.

    Love the 'hitcher' subgenre but this could've been much better in casting and writing.

    A guy wants to watch a recently released horror movie knowing as little as possible, but mistakenly watches another entire movie with a similar title, and it's worse than he could possibly imagine. The guy's me, the recently released title is Passenger, and I'll let you…
