Monumental Achievement In Acting And Directing

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2013)

I watched taxi driver for the first time when I was 18. At that time I knew this was a really great movie. I then revisited it over a year later and realized it was a cinematic masterpiece. Robert DeNiro gives one of the best performances of his career as Travis Bickel. This is also one of Martin Scorsese's finest work as a director. A strong supporting cast including a then 14 year old Jodie Foster, Cybil Shepherd, Harvey Keitel and Peter Boyle contribute to this outstanding film. The story is about a New York City taxi driver's assent into madness. I highly recommend you see this film for the acting, directing, and also because it is one of the greatest films of all time.
