Goodbye Solo (2008)

Empathy confronts free will in this sorrowful tale of hopelessness. A taxi driver, Solo, is contracted to drive a man one-way to a cliff on an upcoming date. Solo recognizes that this is essentially assisting this man's suicide, so he works towards befriending the aging and cranky man.

The dynamic between the upbeat Solo and the vacant William is superb - a contest of influence of wills, especially considering Solo's personal problems and the enormous possibilities for failure in his own life.
