De Niro and Foster's show

Rating: 6/10 (2 April 2012)

Robert De Niro is Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle a deranged individual whose character is loosely based on Aurther Bremer, the man who shot Alabama Governor George Wallace. Bickle can't sleep, so become a taxi driver on the night shift. He also hangs out in porn theaters, at one point taking a woman, Betsy on a date to one of the feature presentations. She is not amused and as she works at the campaign headquarters of a senator running for president named Charles Palantine, Bickle stalks her there and is thrown out.
On his rounds of the big city, Travis is overwhelmed by the amount of crime he sees so he decides to turn vigilantes. After acquiring several weapons, he happens upon a store being robbed and kills the perpetrator with a gun. One of his passengers is a 12 year old prostitute named Iris who he attempts to rescue.
His plan to assassinate Senator Palantine but is thwarted by the security force. He tracks down Iris's pimp in order to kill him and save the young hooker. Will he find redemption through the young Jezebal? You will have to watch Taxi Driver to get the answer. De Niro is Anne Noriega Foster as Iris are great and the movie good, but not one of my favorites.
