TRUE force.

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2019)

Martin Scorcese's and Robert De Niro's tour de force, Taxi Driver charts the decent into insanity of ex-war vet Travis Bickle, who's working as a cab driver, who brings his own, personal vendetta to the streets of 70's downtrodden New York. Scorcese's direction, and Bernard Herrmann's score create great tension and foreboding throughout. And De Niro's Bickle is played tautly, portraying a damaged mind about to snap.
Taxi Driver is a tightly-wound psychological character study. And classic Scorcese.
