A Taxi Driver (2017)

Korea always surprises and the value of friendship (true friendship)

[10/10 · 26 April 2020]

I've seen a lot of Korean cinema in recent years, they always have two or three cinematic gems with brutal scripts and directions. This movie went under the radar, I don't know why. Easily put it among the top 10 films made by Korean cinema. It is far from what we are used to, the thrillers, the serial killers, the revenge sagas, scenes with hand-to-hand combat. . .but, without a doubt, it is the best that Korea has brought out. A film that touches everything, goes from comedy, to drama, to action, to suspense in a matter of minutes. In the end, a masterpiece of the impact journalism has in discovering atrocities, when it is exercised in the right way, but more, a masterpiece in terms of showing tremendous friendship, one that develops in a short time, but lasts for lifetime. Recommended.
