Psychological Thriller

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2015)

Taxi Driver (1976) has got to be one of Di Niro's best films (at least in my opinion) because of how he submersed himself into this role. This film takes what the 60's did, pushing limits of what was acceptable in Hollywood, and showcased just how far Hollywood was willing to go...which was anywhere. Di Niro is so creepy yet you enjoy is vigilantism of going around the city "protecting" it. Di Niro's character, Travis, is one of those characters that you really don't want to like, but you end up being cool with his targets. I really liked this movie not just because of the excellent acting, but also because of some of the car scenes. The camera footage is pretty insane when driving through the streets.
