Taxi 5

It's not necessary to say this, but how cool the first two parts were. Taxi! I do not know how for you, but for me these are two popcorn masterpieces. Stunning situational humor perfectly diluted the bombing action, tuned taxi drivers, interesting characters, with all understandable problems. In these films everything was fine, they can be reviewed again and again. Yes, there were still the third and fourth parts, but the third one was not so sincere, and the fourth one was completely tricky. But what I saw in the fifth part is just nonsense!

Luc Besson. How much good is associated with this name. Luke (for those who forgot) - the author of such masterpieces as Leon and Fifth element. A man who produced a bunch of good franchises and just good movies, like Banlieue 13, Taken and The Transporter. Taxi Luke did not shoot, he produced and wrote scripts to them. This is a person who quickly comes up with something than embodies, hence many scenario works and production activities, but in recent years his business is not very good. The alarm bell rang again in the year when it turned out that the Besson studio ** Europa corp ** is on the verge of bankruptcy. The thing is that the studio in recent years has focused on dramas, and not the most successful ones. Paintings 9 leben, Shut in, Miss Sloane and smelly The Circle with Tom Hanks, failed at the box office. The debt of the studio grew and became more than a hundred million dollars, well, what happened afterwards you know. Besson released his hope - Valerian and the city of thousands of planets and this film became the loudest failure in the history of French cinema.

At the same time, the streaming giant Netflix successfully took advantage of the situation and began to negotiate so that Besson would start producing content for them. Simply Netflix, so you understand, now generally pret is unrealistic. They want to release more than 80 films of their own production in 2018! And here it is already getting interesting. The matter is that within the framework of the transaction Netflix can also get a share and access to the project library Europa Corp, which includes franchises Taken, The Transporter and guess what else! That's right - Taxi! And given that the debt of the Besson studio due to the "Valerka" is already about 300 million dollars, the words of our beloved Sami Naseri acquire new colors. Yes, who does not know, our taxi driver about this part said the following: "I'm very upset because the films Taxi 1, 2, 3, 4 all looked, and now they all, all have been omitted." He sold the movie franchise Taxi to absolute non-professionals, who eventually made a complete shit. "

Apparently Besson really lost control of the franchise, at least vigilance for sure. He seems to be a writer and producer, but in the film I did not notice his hand at all. But I noticed one funny chuvak. Director Taxi 5 Some Frank Gastambid is also listed as a screenwriter and he also, imagine, the main character.

Franco is here, like Alexander Nevsky from France: director, screenwriter, actor, Mr. Universe. So much self-admiration I have never seen. Not only does he tighten the blanket of adequacy only on himself and combines the images of Daniel and Emilen together, as well as mowing under the Vin Diesel, with which I generally ofigel! He also chases in a light T-shirt, also squints and absolutely smirks. At first I thought that I was just driving, but no, this type clearly wanted everyone to think that he was a young Vin Diesel. There's even Letty there. Well, at some point in general, played a swing track Get low from the seventh part Fast and Furious and then I ended. Finally lost the line: where Taxi, and where Fast and Furious.

The plot of the new part is just a tracing-paper from all the previous parts. Well, hell with him, but how is all this realized. Okay, the underdog police officer-taxi driver Vin Diesel we determined, but who in the place of Daniel you will not believe - it's just some chmoshnik. Not a hero, but an unfriendly gasket. Some Ali Baba mowing under Abi Smal from Aladdin: the same slick and dumb. What is the most impudent - it is needed in this film only in order to just fit the legendary taxi.

As for the scenario, here the narcissist Frank took the script of the first part of the Taxi and just made the castling. If there Emilen tried to drive up to impregnable Peter, and Daniel to Lily, then here he rolls up to the prototype of Lily, and his blunt was led by Daniel's nephew to the prototype of Petra. It's more flowers, you just can not imagine what kind of humor is here. He is the level of nasty ranting Russian comedies: puke, snot, splashing shit, ass ... The saddest thing is that in my room a lot of people laughed at the naked ass on the whole screen.

The characters of the police station, who were somewhat awkward, hypertrophiedly pretentious in the first parts, but at the same time retained their charm and their childish spontaneity, then turned into a gathering of some moronic, filthy bastards. For the whole movie I did not laugh once. Provided that I am a fan of neighing, sometimes even over stupidity. I laughed even at The Malibu Rescue, but not here. There was only one good joke. In the old Taxi not only was the soul felt, but then humor caused some kind of pleasant tremor throughout the body. In the first parts there was so much creativity that you can revise them as Gaidai's comedies - once in a couple of years. I think everyone was attracted by that adorable situational humor. And this beautiful music, sounding at the most suitable moment.

Of the advantages of the new part only with a stretch can you name the soundtrack. But again, in comparison, he is no: put in place and does not cause any special emotions. Whether it's the case the divine tracks are perfectly wedged in the old Taxi. If before a taxi, you can tell, she was a character with her chips, then here she is not even really shown. And there, where they show, it looks like an ordinary car. All because creativity is zero. Hence no action. If for the filming of the pursuit on the first part of the director invited operators with the formula-1, then there is no one normal chase. A feeling that the car just goes around the city and that's it. Earlier, when Daniel included all the car pribludy even some kind of light euphoria overtook. I sat like a child, in anticipation of the fact that now there will be something truly exciting. Now there are only references left.

What else has pierced me is that it's villains. Well, these are ushlepki! With their tufted eyes, except smirks, they do not cause anything else. On the acting game and say nothing. In short, not a film, but some unfortunate hybrid Fast and Furious and Taxi. Rare nonsense, the last nail in the coffin of the franchise. Watch do not even think about it, even with beer. Besson, by all accounts, is not going through the best of times, but let's hope that he gets out.

Look only the best!
