A classic though overrated in my opinion.

Rating: 6/10 (18 September 2018)

Taxi Driver is a good film, though a bit overpraised. It is the story of Travis Bickle- a lonely ex Vietnam soldier holed up in a tiny apartment in New York. He develops an infatuation with a woman he sees across the street and befriends a girl prostitute all within a span of time, which pretty much tells you his state of mind. To put it bluntly Travis is a sociopath- a volcano waiting to erupt. The acting is good, especially De-Niro whose works with Scorsese are always interesting but the film isn't all that great in the larger scheme of things. In other words, it's a decent watch but hardly a classic.
