SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
ibrahim fattah It's a very good movie! I recommend it for a family night, but there is a scene, where Vanessa (one of the robbers) "touches" Marta's (lieutenant's) breast and butt (not naked). There are some cures too. I hope there will be a second one! It's a combination between a mystery and comedy. If i would put a min age, i would put 14+.
halcyonyears This movie is the poop standard for bad movies. In fact I've frequently referred to it as one of the worst movies of all time. Bad acting from bad actors telling bad jokes with an even worse plot and then some. Now if I were a movie critic I would say something like, "I would 'steer' clear of this movie." Because every movie critic has to start their critique of how bad the plot is by writing the worst pun they can think of.. OK I'll just say this "This movie is awful."and a couple more lines to pass the IMDb standard for reviews... which is kind of a joke anyways because 5 of my friends and I got up in the theater and walked out because we'd rather walk around town than watch the rest of this movie (I ended up finishing it later on DVD, which I regretted immediately.. sad story, back then I thought I had to watch movies to the end..). Anyways, so IMDb makes you write 10 lines, but their "weighted average" on movie titles are so far removed from what the public thinks about them it's sad.. but here you go, I wrote your 10 lines so accept my review now. sorry for anyone else who kept reading this review. I just wanted to warn people to stay away from it..
Sirus_the_Virus Taxi is an almost miss. The problem I had with the film is that there isn't that much there. It's one of those movies where they show bloopers in the end to show how much fun the actors had. Sure they had fun, but did we? Not quite.Jimmy Fallon plays a cop who can't drive, and Queen Latifa plays a taxi driver who loves speed(Ha, isn't that funny). The two of them team up to stop a group of female Portogeuse bank robbers led by Giselle Bundchin. The chick may be hot, but she can't exactly act. What did we expect though she is a model all they wanted was eye candy.The highlight of the film is Jennifer Esposito from Spin city and Crash as Jimmy Fallon's boss and ex girlfriend. Not that her performance is worth Oscars, it's just that her character doesn't seem so fake. She's not exactly meant to be funny though. Queen Latifa and Jimmy Fallon are meant to be funny, they are extremely likable people. But the film Taxi falls flat.I hate to use the term I am about to use. But Taxi has cheap gags, quite a few of them actually. I left out Ann Margerate, the great, who plays Jimmy Fallon's mom. Though she is barely in it, she is likable. Every person in this film is likable, it just seems like this movie is a skit that just keeps going. The Movie didn't feel real to me. What did I expect it's a somewhat remake of Taxi. Now to end my review, let me say one more thing. Thumbs down.Taxi:**/****
pvermaer This is truly one of those remakes that never should have been made. Queen L.'s role is totally unbelievable (I mean do you see her doing back-flips on a mountainbike across NYC?!). The original is copied in a very bad way and the translation from Marseille, FR to NYC could have been way better.In the original, the key role is a believable guy who. You'd think they picked him right off the street and put him on the set (which they did). The tuning of her taxi is really bad and again an unbelievably bad copy of the original in which the leading actor had enough street cred to do these kind of things. As stated in the title, the only good thing about this movie is seeing Gisele Bundchen driving a BMW 760.
