Storyline
Rex is a loner, and when he's told he doesn't have long to live, he embarks on an epic drive through the Australian outback from Broken Hill to Darwin to die on his own terms; but his journey reveals to him that before you can end your life, you have to live it, and to live it, you've got to share it.

Director Jeremy Sims probably uses a setting-sun metaphor more than necessary, but otherwise his decisions are immaculate and his film should hold audiences in thrall. On a journey of self-discovery, the metre keeps running. Might as well, Last Cab tells us, get your money’s worth.

It’s not so much the destination but the physical and emotional journey embarked on in this thoughtful, culturally authentic road trip.

This film is always pleasant to watch. It shows us that life has little detours, all the way to the end.

Village Voice
Sims imbues his characters with rich thought and heart, particularly in regards to the understated, racially complicated, on-again/off-again relationship between Rex and Polly.

The film’s destination might be apparent, but the trek through past regrets, race relations and the central subject itself never feels drawn out.
