A gripping drama

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2010)

For me, this was a great movie that displayed how people can get sick of their surroundings and just make them lash out. It showed this at a great pace, but the one thing I can complain about is that I didn't feel an emotional connection to Travis. He never really showed his feelings until the end. He didn't lash out before that. He got a little angry a couple of times but it was understandable and nothing drastic. However, he truly showed his hate and anger toward the citizens and actions around him. He would write in his journal about how this place needs to be washed away. He had great reasons to think so and it showed in the city around him. He didn't seem quite unstable to me until the end again, however. He just seemed like a normal guy who knew that what was going on wasn't right. Still, this movie is a great gripping drama and deserves a watch.
