Taxi Driver Review

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2016)

When I heard of this movie, Taxi Driver, I was instantly interested in it for two reasons. One of which is because Martin Scorsese directed it and another is Robert De Niro. In my eyes Scorsese is one of the greatest directors of all time and every De Niro film is a hit. Taxi Driver takes you deep inside the mind of a veteran marine and his life as a taxi driver. Later becoming a vigilante to clean up the streets of pimps and crime. I felt De Niro did an absolutely amazing job portraying this mentally psychotic bad ass in my opinion. The cinematography in this film is done so well in this film, in particular, all the night scenes I felt had this gloomy and captivating mood to it through low lighting, shadows, and the diegetic sound you could hear. Overall, incredible film. Can't believe it took me this long to watch this film.
