The screenplay is never disappointing throughout, and the film comes out as both a refreshing as well as a memorable experience. The change in the tone of the film has been brought up extremely well, thanks to its director Jang Hoon. From narration to execution to performances to presentation: it's perfect in each and every aspect. A TAXI DRIVER, without a second thought, is the best South Korean film I've seen till date. I just wanted to see it as soon as possible and I finally got the opportunity. It showed how the film would turn out to be. I was highly excited to watch his new historical action drama A TAXI DRIVER, because the trailer was highly impressive.
Movie: A Taxi Driver (15) Rating: 5/5 I've been highly impressed long time by Song Kang-ho, and I've been watching many of his movies since later few months. I had very little to criticize but a lot to think about when I left the show and that -to me- often is the sign of a truly good movie.

The end result is a movie which is well-directed, with competent acting and impressive camera work. The fact that I was largely ignorant of those events in history makes this movie even more significant. You don't watch a movie but you are actually there as it happens. It is almost like you're another passenger sitting in that little taxi. I have to commend the director and his actors for this eyewitness feeling. "Doing the right thing" means that an average person has to find extraordinary courage. Both soon have to come to terms with the fact that they put themselves into a situation which has great relevance to their country and their professions. It is a relation out of necessity and neither of them actually seem to take a liking to each other. He needs a driver and the taxi driver needs the money. Enter a German reporter who smells a good story after being tipped off by a BBC colleague who tells him that the generally tense situation in South Korea somehow got worse recently. It is surprisingly tactful and the director wisely steps back from the story and lets good actors paint a picture of everyday life.
The movie pulls a few heartstrings here and there but never too much.
He more or less wants to do the right thing in a country where circumstances aren't all that well but you can live your life. A widowed taxi driver in Seoul struggling to make ends meet for himself and his little daughter.
