Marseile PD detective Émilien Coutant-Kerbalec must assist worse-than-Clouseau commissioner Gibert guarding a Belgian criminal reputed as dangerous as - and caged like Hannibal Lector. Émilien's cool friend, taxi driver Daniel Morales, initially only agrees to babysit both their buddy-sons, as Émilien's wife Petra is away on top-secret mission. Taxi 4 has some good moments of fun and action and once again both Emilien and Daniel were very good but the film suffers from a weak plot but also some weak aspects in both humor and villains too. (6.0/10)

I saw the third one jaundiced, but this one is deeply bad. It's normal that Marion Cotillard didn't return, actually that decision give her the Oscar for choosing "LA VIE EN ROSE". The plot it's so simple has a child movie, with constant "hommages" to "SCARFACE". It seems that Luc Besson wrote only for the money and with no interest at all, and I can believe that we talk about the same guy he wrote "LEÓN", "NIKITA" and "THE FIFTH ELEMENT". The history tries to be supported with it's characters' jokes and with the action. But in this one, the characters here are abnormal and the action in addition it's forced sometimes is almost non- existent.The only normal character is Daniel (Samy Naceri), you look at his face and it seems that the actor wants to return home with his family in every scene. The other characters have already became retarded. Émilien (Frédéric Diefenthal) is dumb and unable to do nothing without Daniel's corrections, and sometimes he acts like a damn baby who doesn't even know that 1+1 is 2. For example, the scene were he's incapable to recognize his wife Petra, only because she's wearing a brown peruke (and nothing else)... That burned by brain down. One thing is Clark Kent's glasses, but this is STUPID.And the rest of the characters are not better... If the earlier films Gibert, was dumb, in this one... Even Émilien and Daniel's children's doesn't in the movie. The children's are only there for one sequence, when they help one of the Belgian's thugs, who's is a "professional" who cannot use a computer.The villain, is flat and unfunny to me, I don't know if he's great or not in his country, but he doesn't make me laugh. The actor seems he's always trying to stand out, but the bad script stops him. Even the TAXI has presence in the film. Only in the first sequence and that all, and it's actually the one who's in the TITLE.The movie is garbage, I have seen Z movies with better scripts and smart characters. Don't waste your time watching it.

Taxi 4 is great! It is so light, so optimistic, so unabashed and so well done that leaves only good impressions. Usually, the sequels and moreover all other continuations do not work out, but this did it. 91 minutes of the film fly so quickly that at the end you need more of this merry, funny, witty work. All the beloved heroes are here – silly Police Chief with all his crazy ideas, pot-smoking Rasta cop, slightly slow Afro-American cop, and then, the excellent trio of main heroes – Mr. Taxi Driver, Daniel; clumsy and sluggish Emelienne and then his super wife, Petra. This trio holds the whole film well, but then without all the secondary characters it also would be impossible to make this movie so good. The Belgian criminal, slightly stupid gangsters, terribly inept policemen, shoot-outs, chases, fights, drugs, football – everything is mixed up and served so hot, so immediate, so tasty and so refreshingly funny. This is a great example that Part Four sometimes may be very good.

When you go into the cinema , lets be honest you do not expect much from this movie.(After taxi 3 most fans of the series learned to lower their expectations) But after approx. 1,5 hours you realize , you have seen a movie with a "story" not worth mentioning , no real action just a few attempts on creating jokes out of nothing (last big shooting scene ) , no car chases (the car itself moves just around 10 minutes max)the characters are far beyond the line where it is funny to be idiotic , all the so called jokes give you the felling "Somebody tried very hard to be funny without reaching it ever" Take the kids of the main characters for example , the only reason why they are in the movie is to create 15/20 minutes , which can be used to fill the gaps in this 90 minute long movie.I don't even start to think about creating some new jokes , or scenes , noooo...The things making the watcher of the series laughing in Tax 1/2 may have been good , but to simply copy them and "re-selling"them with different labels is simply lame...... So all the things that made Taxi 1/2 a good movie are simply not present here.If the movie at least had some real action , or a few good jokes i would have given it a 6. I have spent approx 5 euros to watch this one .....If you do not want to spend your money on 1,5 hours of nothing ...go and buy a rose for your girlfriend...
