Review of Taxi 2 (2000) by Benedick L — 25 Apr 2009
The first one took a while to get going but then the ingenious car chase towards the end with the uncertainity of how it would end made it enjoyable to watch and begged for repeat viewings. The second one didn't really pick up where the last one left but it keeps all the main characters.
I felt as I watched it, nothing really happened until the last 20 minutes and then it felt a little rushed. The car chases are entertaining. I've seen better and I could make better car chases. An arrogant thing to say but I do enjoy a good car chase and if you make cars characters themselves, you feel the intensity of the chase.
Like there is something at stake. The Bourne movies are an excellent example of this. It also starts to lose, let's say, it's frenchness. Which is a shame because this is what drew me in in the first one.
Still, it's brainless fun and if you want something slightly different to mainstream hollywood films, look no further.
