a5c7b9f00b Belle Williams is a speed demon. Flying through the streets of New York in her tricked-out taxi, she's earned a repNew York's fastest cabbie. But driving a hack is only a pit stop for her real dream: Belle wants to be a race car champion. And she's well on her way–until she's derailed by overeager cop Andy Washburn, whose undercover skills are matched only by his total ineptitude behind the wheel. Washburn, whose lack of vehicular skills has landed him in the precinct doghouse, is hot on the heels of a gang of beautiful Brazilian bank robbers, led by Vanessa, their cold, calculating–and leggy–leader. To nab the evasive crooks, drivers license-less Washburn convinces Belle to team up with him to pursue Vanessa and crew. Belle has carte blanche to drive at any speed and break any law. The car-less cop and speed-demon cabbie–New York's unlikeliest partners– begin a high-speed game of cat and mouse with the robbers. That is, if Belle and Washburn don't end up killing each other first. A mouthy and feisty taxicab driver has hot tips for a green and inept cop set on solving a string of New York City bank robberies committed by a quartet of female Brazilian bank robbers. this movie was one of my 2004 favourites not because it of graphics (e.g car driving) not because i knew the things they were doing were impossible but because it cracked me up I've seen almost every movie to be released this year and Yes TAXI rocked it may not be an Oscar Nommy but its done well and you have to admit either Quenn LLL cracked u up or Jimmy did. Then there were the bank robberies who played there parts surprisingly well for there small screen time. its in **top 5***of 2004 my personal favourites i also found Along Came Polly Resident Evil : Apocalypse 1#Friends the sticom and many others i cant think of right now so you wannta see a movie that will make you laugh enjoy ans have fun see Taxi today. I don't know why people should watch this film when it even doesn't take its cues from the original. The original film works because it had all the ingredients to make it great: Class, Sass, and a whole lot of…well you get the idea. But the point stands. I'm not sure either the director, writers, etc etc realized what was at hand when they made this, but they clearly kicked themselves in the butt for this one. Queen Latifah has proved herself to be a fairly good actress, but one has to wonder why she was cast in this? Instead of giving her character witty and smart dialog, it's replaced with potentially insulting racial epithets. So this is their idea of "hip and coolness". I digress. I think the fact that Hollywood's idea of what it thinks the audience wants to see, clearly undermines the bottom line of the moviegoers intelligence. And that speaks volumes about what passes for entertainment these days. Throughout this Americanization of the Luc Besson–scripted French hit, Latifah itches to check her watch, Fallon appears mortified, and only Ann-Margret mainlines any comic adrenalin.
