De Nero And Scorsese In Taxi Driver

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2009)

They team up once again to deliver a well performed highly rated movie Taxi Driver. Robert De Nero again extracts and delivers as a former Vietnam war veteran, who is now driving a taxi through the unguided and disturbing night town of New York City. I must say I naturally enjoyed his performance in Raging Bull better than his one in Taxi Driver but he still does deliver well. The movie is general is partially overrated, I believe we see more of Scorsese's skill and talent in Raging Bull then Taxi Driver. There was more accurate cinematography, focused characters and better character development; but there is no excuse for Taxi Driver, De Nero's character was challenged and was developed well from the start to the end. The movie is somewhat predictable, but the movie ends off well. The talent and publicity was firing its way through after Scorsese and De Nero partnered up to make this. It was the start of a very successful career for both of them.
