You talking' to him?

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2005)

Released the year after the Vietnam War ended, "Taxi Driver" takes a look at the war's effects on people. Vietnam vet Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro) takes a job as a taxi driver, meeting various kinds of people. But as time passes, he begins to lose his mind, and it may lead to irreversible results.
"Taxi Driver" is as chilling as it is magnificent. It's the sort of thing that only Martin Scorsese could do, especially casting Robert DeNiro. While there certainly are some violent scenes, it's pretty tame compared to the stuff that you see in movies nowadays. Still, you should be prepared for some of the scenes. But don't let that give you the wrong impression of the movie. Everyone (along with DeNiro, the movie also stars Jodie Foster, Cybill Shephard, Harvey Keitel, and Albert Brooks) does a great job. This movie is perfect in every way.
