A Taxi Driver

An entertaining journey into a tragic and violent chapter of Korean modern history.

A richly imagined tribute to a working-class hero.

Song's performance makes me wish the rest of A Taxi Driver was as thoughtful.

While a bit ponderous and overlong, it is a heartfelt appreciation of ordinary people turned heroes in extraordinary circumstances.

An effective - and affecting - fact-based political drama set against the bloody backdrop of South Korea's 1980 Guangju Democratic Uprising.

An affecting what-if tale.

A Taxi Driver’s goal is to get ordinary viewers willing to risk their life and sacrifice their financial well being to help redeem others’ names from slander in the name of truth and democracy

It still pulls more from its viewers: Do these images pain you? What choice will you make when our world asks for you to make a choice?

“A Taxi Driver” is an engaging and educational historical drama that sheds light on a tumultuous period of South Korea’s history. It’s also well-paced and features great performances by its talented cast.

Despite overlong and emotionally elaborate, Hun Jang's drama film has its moments and ensures amusement.
