A Taxi Driver (2017)

A Taxi Driver earned 12 million domestic admissions and grossed $95 million in South Korea alone, making it one of the highest-grossing Korean films ever. Song Kang-ho's performance as a Seoul taxi driver who unwittingly transports a German journalist into the 1980 Gwangju Uprising is among the finest in Korean cinema, with a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Cheaper than the typical rival historical drama, it cost just $10 million to produce.
