Taxi Driver remake with clown make up

Rating: 6/10 (17 October 2019)

Take away the clown element and this is a superb psychological thriller about descent into madness. But there's nothing apart from the odd Wayne references to connect this to anything Batman related. In the same way Nolan's Batman were bond movies in rubber suits. This is just a personal preference, but I'm not interested in comic book stories grounded in reality. I think it's lazy. Give me fantasy, take me out of the real world for 2 hours. I know this probably an unpopular view but I'm just being honest. This movie has some amazing performances in it and is very brave in places, but it's better viewed separately from anything comic book related.
