Taxi Driver Review

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2015)

Taxi Driver is a classic. An earlier Scorsese film, Taxi driver nails it. Robert De Niro nails the role of a mentally unstable Vietnam Vet. Sine this was a low budget film, shot in NYC, the overall feeling of grittiness is there and it is amazing. You really feel as if you are in this 1970's version of NYC following this crazed man around. The camera work is spot on as well, with long tracking shots of our driver and aerial shots of his destruction, Scorsese does an amazing job directing. You really feel the emptiness of De Niro, which makes his ultimate downfall for a mesmerizing journey to watch unfold. I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a thought provoking film that highlights the best parts of both Scorsese and Di Niro's talent.
