De Niro masterpiece...

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2008)

this could have been only a "good" movie, but De Niro's interpretation makes a very good one out of it. the first half of the movie i was still in expectation of something. there are a few longer scenes, that could be not that tasteful for one or another. to be honest, i had expected more from Scorsese on this movie, but my expectations regarding Robert De Niro were fulfilled. thats why i consider that De Niro "saved" this movie with his interpretation. otherwise, i saw a rather pale Cybill Sheppard, and a pretty convincing Harvey Keitel. i like the created atmosphere in "taxi driver", the theme is very in actuality these days also. well done, Robert!
