Taxi (1998, France)Running time: 86 minutes
Language: French / German Locations: MarseilleProvence-Alpes-Côte d’AzurFrance
Marseille is a sunny and relaxed city on the coast of Mediterranean Sea. At least it is relaxed until taxi driver Daniel is in a hurry. He and his Peugeot 406 are the worst nightmares of local police - not only he is too fast for any car they have, but also his skills as racing driver make him very slippery target, so most of the time they don’t even bother with chasing him. But when gang of robbers driving Mercedes are hitting several banks in the Marseilles Daniel reluctantly agrees to help police in catching them.
First movie from Taxi series was quite interesting project - with very limited use of CGI the chase scenes perhaps aren’t breathtaking, but they managed to keep it real and at the same time entertaining.
