Apple pie with cheese. Have a minute!

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2002)

While not his best film, this is probably De Niro's best performance, playing Travis Bickle, the socially dysfunctional ex marine turned taxi driver,who becomes part of the 'sick venal scum' he so loathes by resorting to what is essentially the lowest form of human behaviour.Violence. Although i can understand people relating to his character, the only feeling i have for him is sheer pity, but one trait many of us share with him is the disillusionment of the world around us. This is Bob during his period of greatness- Mean Streets- Once upon a time in America, and it truly captures mid 70's New York. One criticism of the movie is that it has a slightly racist tone.I mean were coloureds resposible for all social problems then?
