Taxi (1998) *

A speed-loving cabbie will loose his licence, unless he helps a police detective catch a gang of Teutonic bank robbers in Marseilles. But can his French Peugot (or is it a Renault?) outrun their cameleon-like Mercedeses? Plenty of car chases and anti-Kraut slurs in this bizarre action flick penned by Luc Besson. Never boring, but incredibly dumb, and numbingly eager to imitate the very worst in Hollywood cinema.
