DeNiros greatest move...

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2006)

DeNiro was lucky to play this part as five other great actors were offered to be in the role but turned it down. So DeNiro meets Scorsese, Scorsese meets DeNiro and one of the greatest movie bonds are formed. In this movie DeNiro portrays a psychotic taxi driver who is trying to turn his life around. he meets a girl (Jodie Foster) who is indeed a prostitute, and they fall in love so now the pimps are getting mad and this causes DeNiro to enrage which inevitably causes him to kill and become the man he did not have to be. It is indeed a slow pace movie but portrays New York life style beautifully and is on of Scorsese's greatest achievements.
