Taxi!

Nonfictionguy

From the writer that penned Leon and Nikita, comes a very light and enjoyable buddy movie, where even the car or rather the driving is often the star. Characters are well developed and interesting, plenty of light humour balances the chase scenes and there is even a little social commentary for the literati to pick up on. The movie is filmed in French, so it is subtitled in english, but don’t le... read more

A bad and overrated movie

I just hate this movie. I know, it might be surprising since it was/is so popular, especially in France but I just can't stand the damned thing. Anyway, I remember it very well when it came out in France. Indeed, it was a huge success and everybody went to see the damned thing back then. Well, everybody except me. I don't know, my gut was telling me it was a big pile of horsesh*t, so I didn't go. ... read more

You know how remakes will always be inferior to the original? I still refuse to watch "The Ring" or its god-awful sequel on the grounds that I happened to catch the Japanese original "Ringu" first. Having said that, I watched "The Assassin" before I watched Luc Besson's "Nikita" so I'd probably prefer the Yankee one. Besson was one of my favourite non-American directors - "Leon" is one of my favou... read more

In Marseilles, France, skilled pizza delivery boy Daniel changes jobs to become a taxi driver, but his dream is to become an F1 race-car driver.

" First Viewing Viewing Date: January 30th Via: iTunes Store Plot: To work off his tarnished driving record, a hip taxi driver must chauffeur a loser police inspector on the trail of German bank robbers. Rating: 7.1/10 Why Did I Watch It? It was in the 99 cent rentals. I like a good action film and this one was written by Luc Besson, so I went for it."
