Unlike the previous four titles, "Taxi 5" no longer features the car driver Daniel and the neurotic policeman Emilian as the protagonists, but a different story line. Although things are not human, but the jokes are not diminished. "Taxi 5" also retains the essence of the previous work, bringing together action, suspense and French jokes, allowing the audience to feel the unique charm of French comedy again. But many scenes in the film are not so much a tribute to the previous work, but rather a repetition. Some of the "stalkers" in the dark, seem to be desperately proving to the audience that they have a deep connection with the previous work, and give the audience a sense of lack of confidence.

Drag racing plus comedy plus detectives, "Taxi 5" has a good story frame, and the completion is also very good, the story is compact, the editing is proper, the climax is repeated, the oolong is continuous, and the jokes are endless.

Its failure lies in being too rigid in the previous work, falling into it and not coming out, losing himself in tribute to the past. In the face of the continuous development of the market, "Taxi Speed 5" offered a bowl of outdated chicken soup. Because of the insatiable conditions, he couldn't take his heart. In the end, he could only become a passerby in the market (Reviewed.
"Taxi 5" not only follows the tradition of the series, but also integrates the market and the bold comedy style. The comical plot attracts the audience's attention even more than the drag racing.
