Hack

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2004)

I sat through this movie thinking it was exactly like the book "Catcher in the Rye." And it is, except the book was much better developed. The hooker is in both, as is what the main characters do with them, Sally Hayes and Betsy are completely parallel, the abusive pimp is in both, both characters are mentally unstable and desire to rid the world of evil. The only thing that is different is the ending of each work. Oh yeah, and "Catcher" came long before "Taxi Driver." However, I do commend Robert De Niro on his portrayal of Travis Bickle.
So read the book and not some imitation that is hailed by people who don't read classics.
