De Niro...Perhaps at his best

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2001)

This is perhaps Robert De Niro's best performance ever. De Niro was nominated for best actor for playing the role of Travis Bickle, the Ex-Vietnam Vet turned Taxi Driver who slowly starts to go over the edge. If you've ever heard of that saying "You talkin to me?, Are you talkin to me?" Well...this is where it came from. Anyways, if you have never seen this film and you are a fan of De Niro or of movies in general, you must see this movie. Harvey Keitel, Cybill Shepard and Peter Boyle also give strong performances, but watch out for a young Jodie Foster who plays a 12 year old hooker in the film (If not for De Niro, Foster totally steals the film). Oh by the way, you guys could tell that this is my favorite film by just looking at the name of my ID.
