    The few glints of tolerability reside in Ido’s easygoing performance as Leo; he’s a French transplant with an aversion to confined spaces. But any goodwill pretty quickly evaporates, as he tries to assist Cat while spouting expository dialogue and doing things like referencing his affinity for “CSI,” presumably to justify his participation.

    The acting is terrible, the direction is indifferent, the story implausible.

    Pardonne-moi, but car chases and creative cinematography aren’t enough to make up for lame jokes and hackneyed storylines.

    The premise is a little weird, a cop using a taxi to get around, but it works. The characters are evolving and the cast clicks.
