i be tempt to just write this movie suck and then go see the original again and but that wouldn not be very helpful to you guy . here why this movie suck . to sum up the movie and i steal from oshram 3 ( one of the other comment ) the plot of taxi follow detective washburn ( jimmy fallon and make his debut a a movie lead ) and bike messenger turn cab driver belle ( queen latifah ) a they inadvertently get tangle up with one another and have to figure out who be rip off a series of manhattan bank and try to catch them . round out the cast ( no pun intend ) be jennifer esposito ( you might remember her from spin city ) a washburn lieutenant and marta and and supermodel gisele bundchen a the head hot chick . luc besson action comedy taxi ( 1998 ) be a great movie and mostly due to decent act and funny character and social or cultural reference . in this american remake and all that be go . the character in themselves be severely less intricate than in besson original and and maybe the best of them all be go . i be and of course and talk about the utterly insane police captain . then again and of course the american would leave him out and since he a parody of every single angry police chief in american movie . all that leave be queen latifah drive a taxi and and a cop that just pathetic and and doesn not have that likable quality frédéric diefenthal have in the french version . also and the political correctness really shin through the gap in this film . every single strong character be a woman . the only guy in the entire core group of the movie be the awkward cop or disguise artist . the movie have be carefully construct so it doesn not lash out at any particular group in society and and by do that and you lose the edge . i see this movie a a blatant attempt to salvage career and make some money on the fact that american do not like subtitle . it also a classic example of what happen when you let lawyer and politically correct group scare you out of do thing right .
