One Heck of a Classic

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2019)

Taxi Driver is easily one of both De Niro's best films and Scorsese's best films. It's truly an instant classic.
Taxi Driver is about a lonely man, Travis (Robert De Niro), who is a cabbie in New York City and is haunting the streets night by night. He meets a beautiful woman, Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), and becomes obsessed with the idea of saving the world. He also meets 12-year-old prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster) and has to rescue her later on and plots to assassinate a presidental canidate.
Taxi Driver is a very good film. It has a very fascinating story and the theme for the majority of the film is pretty spectacular.
The cast was very good. De Niro had a very solid performance, and you gotta love the infamous "You talkin' to me?" scene. Jodie Foster did very good in an early role for her career, and actors like Albert Brooks and Peter Boyle did a great job as well and a lot of the dialogue is very nice as well.
All I have to say is Taxi Driver holds up 4 decades later, and will never get old.
