Dark and triumphant; Arguably Scorsese's Best and one of De Niro's best

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2004)

"Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here." -Travis Bickle
Taxi Driver is a great film about desperation and loneliness. Robert De Niro's
character is one of the greatest in the history of film, as he gives his greatest
performance. Taxi Driver is about a night cab driver who becomes fed up with

thugs on the
street and that he feels like he should put an end to it. He is rejected by a girl
who he likes, so he plans to ruin her work by killing her boss, a senator. He also
meets a young prostitute whose pimp treats her with no respect. When he

struggles to help her, he puts another plan into action that will make him a

legend. Taxi Driver is a dark tale that will live on forever with one of the most thrilling climaxes ever. Robert De Niro is
excellent in his role. Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel and Peter
Boyle are also very good. This is Martin Scorsese's best film with the exception
of Goodfellas and Raging Bull. Definitely the best movie of 1976 and an all-time
classic. 10/10 stars.
