Taxi Ratings & Reviews
- stuhannafordMarch 28, 2026It has a very European sense of humour, with attitudes a modern audience may not warm to… I really enjoyed it. Sarcastic, sometimes silly, acutely aware of itself, fun and a simple, straightforward story. Clever ending and some good old fashioned car chases. Not at the top of my to watch list initially, still a little unsure how there are a further three sequels, but I loved it.
- DzoniiFebruary 3, 2026Always happy to see this movie!
- AdeMarch 23, 2025One of the best French comedy thrillers of the 90s
- Bryan PikeFebruary 27, 2025In the past, the French have had the good sense to send their unwanted authority figures to the guillotine; yet somehow they allowed writer, Luc Besson and the hack-for-hire director of this confused excrement to live. A perplexing oversight on the part of the normally perceptive French people.
