i actually saw this movie on a trans pacific flight first thing i think and when it come on and be that it merely have the same name a the french taxi movie i love so much . next and when i saw the opening sequence be nearly identical and i start to get worried that the original have be remake and destroy by hollywood . i be right . if you watch this movie without prior knowledge of the french taxi movie and you may or may not like it . it a fresh idea and a fun movie . the act wasn not great and but at least non serious role like this do not require top grade act . what make this movie horrible and though and be that it just do not measure up to the original ( taxi and taxi 2 ) . even though i do not understand french and and my taxi dvd do not have subtitle and i still thoroughly enjoy them and a they be packed full of excite car chase and slapstick humour . they be both incredibly tightly package movie they never lose my attention . the remake have several completely unnecessary scene insert and be full of bad joke and and to top it off and have far less interesting car . though this movie be useful in help you understand the taxi story ( if you do not understand french ) and i must urge anyone to watch the original as well or instead .
