Why Watch This
“Taxi Driver: Oko Ashewo” drags you into Lagos’s neon‑lit underbelly, where a night‑shift cabbie gets tangled in a web of crime, superstition, and dark humor. The film’s razor‑sharp dialogue and unpredictable twists keep the tension high while still delivering belly‑laugh moments.

The CinePearl Take
Director Daniel Oriahi balances grit and wit, letting the city itself become a character that pulses with danger. Odunlade Jonathan Adekola shines as the reluctant hero, infusing the role with both swagger and vulnerability. The pacing is deliberately uneven—slow enough to soak in the atmosphere, then snapping into high‑octane chase sequences that amplify the moral ambiguity at the film’s core.
