Intense film

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2016)

This was a very intense film. I don't know if I can say I really loved it. All of the violence does not sit well with me, even in a film. However, Travis was trying to do good in the messed up world he was a part of, and sometimes he got lost along the way. He was obviously experiencing some type of psychological stressor, most likely depression. The film did show a lot of ugly truths about the world we live in, something more people need to be aware of and realize- we do not live in a perfect pretty world. There are ugly things that happen even in our very own neighborhoods that we would much rather turn a blind eye to. Travis was almost unable to turn a blind eye though, because as a taxi driver, Travis is exposed to a lot of the raw world and people in it.
