	Jesusfreakhideout.com "Taxi" Movie Review
		Latifah seems to be more careful in recent years of what projects she chooses and it honestly surprises me to see her choose such a risky flick as Taxi.
		The movie is a remake of a 1998 French film from Luc Besson that sparked a couple sequels.
		Taxi is not a film that takes itself seriously and it reminds the viewer of this throughout its duration.

		Taxi service is typically provided by automobiles, but various human- and animal-powered vehicles or boats are also used or were used historically.
		Taxis are often "hailed" or "flagged" on the street, either by a passenger as a taxi is driving by, or at a taxi stand (sometimes also called a "taxi rank", "cab stand," or "hack stand").
		Taxi owners and drivers usually communicate with the dispatch office through either a 2-way radio or a computer terminal (called a mobile data terminal).

	Taxi (2004 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taxi is a 2004 American remake of the 1998 Luc Besson-penned French film of the same name, starring Queen Latifah, Jimmy Fallon and Gisele Bündchen, and directed by Tim Story.
		Critics mostly panned this movie upon release as a poor remake of the French movie.
		The girls are bank robbers that are on a killing spree, this is similar to the movie Set It Off in which Queen Latifah stars.

	zBoneman Movie Reviews
		Taxi is such an unbelievably inept comedy that I kept wondering if the title wasn't given to the film because it represented the work of so many hacks.
		I guess it's fair to point out that Taxi was intended more as vehicle for Queen Latifah than Fallon, but whatever the circumstances it's difficult to imagine either of these two rising stars signing on for this joyless-ride without a gun being held to their head.
		For example one of the running gags in the Taxi is that Fallon is a terrible driver, and to drive the point home there was a two minute scene depicting Jimmy's inability to leave a parking spot and pull onto the street.

	Louisville Scene \| Movies \| Movie Review \| 'Taxi' (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon's cop romp "Taxi" is a cinematic reflection of a cab ride to the airport in rush hour, start-stop traffic: Long periods of immobility are punctuated by the occasional lively lurch forward.
		"Taxi" is a seriously disappointing followup for director Tim Story, who made an impressive debut with 2002's "Barbershop." Based on the 1998 French flick of the same name that was written by Luc Besson (who also produces the remake), "Taxi" is substandard issue in the mismatched-buddy comedy genre.
		The instantly forgettable "Taxi" is a major misfire for Latifah and Fallon, both trying to establish big-screen careers in starring roles.

		In case you still care about this gaping maw of unfunny, Taxi tells the tale of a cop without a driver's license who joins forces with a sassy taxi cab driver to catch supermodel bank robbers.
		His character in this movie has got to be the worst character of the year in any movie.
		Taxi was just a big studio movie that forsakes funny for star power and turns out to be nothing but non-stop stupidity.

	Taxi Movie Review
		Of course, the models manage to escape… but what they don’t realize is that Belle and Andy are about to team up, forming an unlikely — and unsafe — partnership to track them down and crack the case on their own, without the assistance — or approval — of the rest of the police force.
		A remake of the 1998 French movie by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element), Taxi relies entirely on the chemistry between the lead actors to carry it through an implausible, contrived plot.
		Taxi shines at times, but Fallon manages to sneak his way inside the mechanics of the humor and throws a monkey wrench in the gears before the laughs become too genuine and authentic.

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - Taxi
		In the high-octane, low-wattage buddy comedy "Taxi" (20th Century Fox), Jimmy Fallon plays a bumbling New York City cop who enlists the aid of a sassy cab driver (played by Queen Latifah) to catch a gang of beautiful but deadly female bank robbers.
		A revved-up remake of the 1998 French film written by Luc Besson, "Taxi" has a full tank of high-speed car chases, but is running on fumes when it comes to laughs.
		From here on, "Taxi" shifts gears into a fast and furious game of cat-and-mouse, consisting of little else than a series of pedal-to-the-metal drag races through the streets of Manhattan (with little regard for pedestrians), as tedious as they are over the top.

	TheMovieBoy Review - Taxi (2004)
		"Taxi" may be an American remake, however loose, of the 1999 French action picture by Luc Besson, but its source material is beside the point of its real goal.
		Belle, a feisty extreme driver whose souped-up taxi would make the characters in "The Fast and the Furious" supremely jealous, is happy to give Washburn a lift at first in exchange for a fee, but soon regrets it when their high-speed trail puts them way in over their heads.
		"Taxi" misses the mark as a comedy, obvious all the time where one is supposed to laugh even as not very much of it is actually funny.

		Oh, and it was the same when he was a pizza delivery guy: this movie tells me that pizza delivery guys are all wonderful stuntmen that can do acrobatic maneuvres with their hogs.
		Every taxi river's cool (even though in real life these road menaces should be lobotomized) because he has great horsepower in his car engines.
		To top it off, Taxi isn't even guilty pleasure material - the direction is aimless, Naceri looks like he wants to pounce on Diefenthal and rip his clothes off, Diefenthal looks like he wants to be anywhere else but this movie, and I just want it to end.

	Taxi Movie Review - Taxi Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		A remake of the 1998 French movie by Luc "The Fifth Element" Besson, "Taxi" requires Latifah to chauffeur cop Andy Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) around New York City at warp speeds to stop a series of crimes after he commandeers her cab.
		Fallon's character is a terrible driver, not to mention a terrible cop, which means Latifah is like the Greyhound bus of both the car and the police work: Most of the driving is left to her.
		The chief pleasure in "Taxi," aside from Latifah's mugging and nonstop complaining, is a ludicrous plot involving a quartet of bank-robbing Brazilian models, led by Gisele Bundchen.

		The primary goal of the project was demonstrating the tow phase of the Eclipse concept using a scaled-down tow aircraft (C-141A) and a representative aerodynamically-shaped aircraft (QF-106A) as a launch vehicle.
		On February 6, 1998, the sixth and final towed flight brought the project to a successful completion.
		Before these tethered taxi tests, a successful joint flight test was conducted in late October 1996, by Dryden, AFFTC, and KST, in which one of the Dryden F-18 chase aircraft flew at various ranges and locations behind the C-141A to define the wake turbulence and wingtip vortex environment.

		For the duration of the movie, we’re stuck, for better or worse, down in the muck with him, and after spending ninety minutes with him we don’t exactly have a deeper understanding than we had a few minutes in.
		The film is often compared to Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, since both film’s feature a supremely alienated lead who narrates his disgust with society, but Scorsese wrapped his tale up in an ironic wit that provided a bit of release to those in the audience that didn’t sympathize with Travis Bickle.
		The music swells, and the camera pulls away, suggesting there’s a bit of humanity residing in the protagonist, but if we’re to accept this compassionate view, we need to forget the previous hour and a half, which I imagine most people won’t be willing to do.

	Blockbuster Online - Taxi Driver
		Written by Paul Schrader, Taxi Driver is an homage to and reworking of cinematic influences, a study of individual psychosis, and an acute diagnosis of the latently violent, media-fixated Vietnam era.
		Released in the Bicentennial year, after Vietnam, Watergate, and attention-getting attempts on President Ford's life, Taxi Driver's intense portrait of a man and a society unhinged spoke resonantly to the mid-'70s audience -- too resonantly in the case of attempted Reagan assassin and Foster fan John W. Hinckley.
		Taxi Driver went on to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but it lost the Best Picture Oscar to the more comforting Rocky.

	Taxi / Gerard Pires / 1998 / film review
		Like many modest French films, Taxi has proved to be a phenomenon which vastly exceeded the expectations of its production team and critics.
		Allegedly, the script was dashed out by Luc Besson in next to no time, the film was made on a very modest budget, compared with similar Hollywood films, with not a single star name.
		But, lacking the awful American sentimentality or gritty realism which has a tendency to mar such films, Taxi has a naïvety and freshness that is genuinely invigorating and helps us to forgive its deficiencies.

		Taxi officials say the systems could boost ridership and drivers' incomes by eliminating the need for cash, while sending drivers useful traffic tips and giving passengers a better chance of finding lost items.
		The group organized a one-day 1998 strike to protest plans to raise taxi owners' liability insurance requirements and other changes.
