"You talking' to me?"-Travis Bickle looking in the mirror at himself

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2007)

Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" (1976) is probably Robert De Niro's most greatest achievement in his film career (along with The Godfather part II, Goodfellas,Heat & Casino. His portrayal of Travis Bickle, a loner who works as a taxi driver on the streets of New York and who eventually carries a 44 magnum ("the most powerful handgun in the world"-line from Dirty Harry (1971))and shave his head is just so frightening and compelling. The climax is graphic (in my opinion and for the time it was done, just how he blows that guy's hand off with the 44 magnum and the way the gun shot just echoes across the walls, Jesus it's just so cinematic! "Taxi Driver" is a piece of cinematic entertainment which has to be seen to be believed and if anyone hates this film, there's something seriously wrong in their head. Taxi Driver has won its place in my 100 greatest films of all time and it's close to number 1. A film that will never be forgot in the history of cinema. 10/10
