Taxi for Pete!!

Rating: 1/10 (9 September 2006)

A thoroughly dreadful film which easily has the worst cockney accent since Dick Van Dyke in 'Mairee Porpins'- Charlie Hunnam as Pete is the man who takes the Dickster's crown. Risible...but curiously compulsive.
The worst thing is...the credits boast a dialogue coach...LOL...she'll never work in this town again. Surely the most useless appointment since Angela Bassett's 'Handbag Designer' in 'The Score'? Directed by...a bird!!...this explains the sappy family sub-story which culminates in the major's missus showing up at the final tear up in a 'Chelsea Tractor' to save her kid brother - yeah, like that's really gonna happen.
One bright spot in a ludicrous movie - Geoff Bell is fantastic as the psychotic Millwall berserker - Tommy Hatcher - over the top for sure, but well worth a 'butchers' for his selection of 'mushes'.
