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. As time passes the situation grows more and more serious, and Man-seob keeps thinking of his young daughter at home all alone. But Peter ignores him, and with the help of a university student Jae-sik (RYU Jun-yeol) and a Gwangju taxi driver named HWANG (YOO Hai-jin), begins shooting with his news camera. Man-seob, alarmed by the danger in the air, pleads with Peter to go quickly back to Seoul. There they encounter students and ordinary citizens taking part in large-scale demonstrations against the government. Although stopped by police roadblocks at the edge of Gwangju, Man-seob is desperate to earn his taxi fare, and eventually manages to find a way into the city. Without stopping to ask the details, he picks up the German reporter Peter (Thomas Kretschmann) and sets off along the highway. If he drives a foreign passenger from Seoul down to Gwangju and back again before the curfew, he'll be paid the unthinkable sum of 100,000 won - enough to cover several months of unpaid rent.
A Seoul taxi driver named Man-seob (SONG Kang-ho) comes across an offer too good to be true.
