Danny Dyer stars as John Smith, a taxi driver juggling two lives—one with Stephanie in Finsbury Park, the other with Michelle in Stockwell—each blissfully unaware of the other. With his shifting work schedule as an alibi, John's carefully constructed double life seems foolproof… until a heroic misstep unravels everything.

With its fast-paced gags and relatable underdog hero, this 2012 comedy keeps audiences laughing even as John's predicament spirals wildly out of control.
