Full Plot Details

May 1980. A Seoul taxi driver named Man-seob (SONG Kang-ho) comes across an offer too good to be true. 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. Without stopping to ask the details, he picks up the German reporter Peter (Thomas Kretschmann) and sets off along the highway. 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. There they encounter students and ordinary citizens taking part in large-scale demonstrations against the government. Man-seob, alarmed by the danger in the air, pleads with Peter to go quickly back to Seoul. 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. As time passes the situation grows more and more serious, and Man-seob keeps thinking of his young daughter at home all alone.

Movie Reviews

The New Paper (Singapore) - 10/10 by Samfrey TanA single father who is cynical and miserly at first, the cabby emerges as a delightful and layered protagonist after an impressive character arc, thanks to director Jang Hoon's superb storytelling.
Fort Worth Weekly - 9/10 by Kristian M. Lin[Jürgen Hinzpeter] is one of the world's greatest actors, and watching him work is more than enough reason to recommend A Taxi Driver.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Sheri LindenIn unexpected and wonderfully satisfying ways, A Taxi Driver taps into the symbiotic relationship between foreign correspondents and locals, particularly in times of crisis.
Movie Nation - 8/10 by Roger MooreA Taxi Driver is a Korean epic, a tipping point in the history of South Korea. A little old-fashioned and a touch melodramatic, it’s still a compelling Korean “Year of Living Dangerously.”
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Michael RechtshaffenGrafting the buddy picture onto the framework of the classic political thriller, director Jang Hoon also manages to find time for lighter moments of human comedy, and those seemingly disparate elements are deftly navigated by Song and his fellow fully dimensional characters.
South China Morning Post - 8/10 by James MarshSong's brilliantly layered performance embodies the emotions of an entire nation, and is almost certain to garner the actor serious awards attention.
AwardsCircuit.com - 8/10 by Shane SlaterWhile conventional wisdom would lead to you expect a somber affair, Jang instead takes a national tragedy and crafts a winning film about sacrifice and honor.
Anchorage Press - 8/10 by Indra ArriagaJang Hoon's vision is focused and his delivery is compelling. While the story praises the courage of Peter to tell the story of a massacre that would have otherwise been swept under the rug, the heart of the story is in Mr. Kim's personal transformation.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe inspiring story of a South Korean cab driver whose life is transformed by his heroic activities during the 1980 Gwangju Uprising.
Film Pulse - 8/10 by Adam PattersonA Taxi Driver delivers a powerful and heartbreaking, yet inspirational, true story framed within a Summer blockbuster.
