The best performance by an actor in any film ever.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2001)

What can I say about Taxi Driver that hasn't already been said?
It's directed faultlessly, by possibly (probably) the greatest director in the history of cinema.
Robert de Niro? 11 out of 10.
Paul Schrader? Likewise.
Thelma Schoonmaker? Ditto.
Jodie Foster? Her best performance.
Cybill Shepherd? It could only go downhill from here.
Brilliantly scripted, brilliantly directed (see: the scene with Travis on the phone, when the camera pans down the hallway; the shooting scene; everything, actually), brilliantly acted. In a word : brilliant.
