Fantasticly Scary

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2003)

These would be the two words I would use describe Robert De Niro's chilling performance as the mentally disturbed taxi driver, Travis Bickle. De Niro is in top form in his performance. Maybe his best role ever (tied with Raging Bull). Jodie Foster gives a very good performance as the child prostitute, Iris. They were both nominated for Oscars and De Niro should have won.
Other things in the movie that make it perfect is Paul Schraders Original Screenplay. The Script delivers unforgettable lines like " You Talkin To Me." One of the most memorable movie quotes ever. Martin Scorsese's direction is top notch in every way. Why the f*** wasn't he nominated? Overall, a pretty much perfect movie; 10 out of 10.
