Taxi (2004) - review

Queen Latifah is Belle, a New York bike courier whose skills on wheels are the envy of the team. But Belle is ready to give it all up to take charge of 4 wheels and own her very own taxi cab.

With her new wheels being her pride and joy, Belle knows she will enjoy speeding through the streets in her modified – and illegal – cab putting all the others to shame, but what she doesn’t plan on is being caught up in a police investigation.

Bumbling New York cop Washburn has blown his last chance with his lieutenant as his latest car crash makes his total 3 and results in his licence being taken away. With a series of bank robberies taking place, Washburn wants to be in on the action, but without a car he’s at a loss until he hails a cab and not just any cab, Belle’s cab.

Together with Washburn’s determination to prove himself as a cop and Belle’s driving skills as well as knowledge of the streets, they team up to track down the gang of Brazilian thieves working their way round New York’s banks. But with Washburn’s lieutenant hot on their heels, they have a race on their hands if they’re to catch them first and claim the glory for the arrest.

This comedy was fun and had laugh out loud moments which made it a great watch. Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon had great on-screen chemistry which helped and made it a definite movie to watch.
