Review of Taxi 4

Taxi 4 (2007)
2/10
Where the hell was the action?
21 May 2010
A "Taxi"-movie without a single actual car chase in it? Seriously Luc Besson, at least pretend to care. Yet another top criminal is on the loose, and the ways of capturing these villains get less inventive with every new sequel. In this one they really just shadow him for a while to find out where he lives and then they like, go there, end movie. Quite a stretch from the hilarious ending to the original I'd say. Nobody bothered to come up with jokes, so they just exaggerate every character and hope somebody laughs at that. The little realism the series had in the first place is all gone, but hey at least we get some retarded cartoon slapstick to even it out. It appears that the makers also realised what a dud they were making, so they crammed in a cameo by soccer star Djibril Cissé that has absolutely no connection to the plot. How sad is it that these truly desperate unrelated scenes are actually the highlights of the movie? Not that they're any good, but they do have Djibril Cissé. Better pray they'll leave "Taxi 5" in the fridge.
