Song's performance makes me wish the rest of A Taxi Driver was as thoughtful.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
While a bit ponderous and overlong, it is a heartfelt appreciation of ordinary people turned heroes in extraordinary circumstances.
Film Pulse

A Taxi Driver delivers a powerful and heartbreaking, yet inspirational, true story framed within a Summer blockbuster.

Shane Slater
While conventional wisdom would lead to you expect a somber affair, Jang instead takes a national tragedy and crafts a winning film about sacrifice and honor.
TheDivaReview.com
Diva Velez
An eye-opening look at a tragic moment in time, A TAXI DRIVER veers dangerously into schmaltz, but is kept afloat by the fluid, feeling performance of the innately watchable Song Kang-ho.

A richly imagined tribute to a working-class hero.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
An effective - and affecting - fact-based political drama set against the bloody backdrop of South Korea's 1980 Guangju Democratic Uprising.

Jennie Kermode
A Taxi Driver has historical importance in its homeland but also stands up independently as a snapshot of what journalists in some parts of the world face every day.
Anchorage Press
Indra Arriaga
Jang Hoon's vision is focused and his delivery is compelling. While the story praises the courage of Peter to tell the story of a massacre that would have otherwise been swept under the rug, the heart of the story is in Mr. Kim's personal transformation.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
The inspiring story of a South Korean cab driver whose life is transformed by his heroic activities during the 1980 Gwangju Uprising.
Film Journal International

Elementally simple storytelling, possessing one helluva wallop.
Fort Worth Weekly

[Jrgen Hinzpeter] is one of the world's greatest actors, and watching him work is more than enough reason to recommend A Taxi Driver.

A timely reminder that the South Korean state could act as brutally as the demonized regime to the North.
Epoch Times
Ian Kane
"A Taxi Driver" is an engaging and educational historical drama that sheds light on a tumultuous period of South Korea's history. It's also well-paced and features great performances by its talented cast.
There Were No Gods Left
Joshua Polanski
It still pulls more from its viewers: Do these images pain you? What choice will you make when our world asks for you to make a choice?
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
A powerful film set in the relatively recent past, but with messages and themes that remain every bit as relevant in today's world.
