Taxxi 5

Its a disappointing installment of the series. The movie feels like a scientific cocktail; similar ingredients from the previous films are being used (comedy/car chases/character stereotypes) and mixed together but the final taste doesnt have the fine and exquisit natural taste as the real thing. The story is totally lacking, the supposedly fun scenes arent funny: the usual word twists are completely missing. Some scenes make no sense at all. The romance of the main actors Has no feeling to it, in fact its so plain that it completely cuts what little suspense there is. At some point they/police know where the bad guys live, but for unknown reason do not aprehend them. The scene with the cars piling on makes no sense; its like stupid lemmings driving into the mess. Also. Every other taxi film has its own theme, while for taxi 5 its practically the same theme as nr 1 except with a few roles reversed. The support roles in previous films where much more credible ie police officers looking as police officers but a little wacky, while here its as if they went to an asylum as none are credible as police officers.
