HKFlix Says: 5 Stars
This movie achieved all of its goals with aplomb: the action, direction, and pacing are fun, fresh, and engaging; the comedy is exactly that; and the acting and characters are endearing and appealing. This is one you'll come back to time and again for a great time!
Avg. Rating:
  4.7 / 5 (based on 3 ratings). What did you think of it?
Plot:When Daniel, a speed-crazed taxi driver, is busted by Emilien, a cop who has failed his driving test for the eighth time, Daniel is forced to help Emilien to take down a gang who are robbing the city's banks at the wheels of powerful cars.

Overview:In Marseilles (France), Daniel, an ex-pizza delivery boy who holds the town record for speediest deliveries, changes jobs and becomes a taxi driver. An F1 racer at heart, Daniel regularly drives his fares at 135mph through 30mph zones, and boasts that they never vomit while inside his cab...only once they exit. He doesn't drive a small yellow go-cart either, at the flip of a switch his car can transform from street-legal to street-menace: hidden spoilers emerge, the wheels move out, and the steering wheel gets replaced.

Caught by the police for one of his trademark speed infractions, Daniel agrees to help Emilien, a loser inspector on the track of German bank robbers, so he doesn't lose his license and his job.

What follows is a film that is surprisingly engaging, funny, and exciting. The action sequences are adeptly filmed and paced, the comedic scenes are well done and rarely sappy, and the storyline--though admittedly thin--is always taken care of and progresses nicely throughout the film. This is easily one of the top action-comedy films we've ever carried, and offers an incredibly good time.
