this be the american version of the french taxi film and it suffer in comparison . i be not kid when i say that this a remake of the three french film since although the film be mainly a poor remake of the the first film and it lift sequence from the second and third film . it a mess and a real mess . i be a huge huge fan of the french film and and for me there be no real point in my seeing this since anything that work come from the original . why do they bother . they change the sex of the lead ( though the queen be excellent ) and combine others and rewrite the cop mother to the point of stupidness . they lose any sense of timing and connection . they should have start from the ground up . it not the painfully awful film that some review make it out to be and but it be a waste of time . if you can find the original and watch those . that should take you the good part of 5 hour and in the end you will not feel a though you have waste your life . negative .
