Not Scorsese's best

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2001)

Taxi Driver became famous for Jodie Foster being only 14 and portraying a prostitute and of course for the De Niro "you talking to me?" rehearsal in front of a mirror.
Many critics have praised this film for showing the horrors of modern day alienation and / or for being a study in human psychosis. While all these elements are presented here and there, the ending of the film is rather disappointing not too mention unrealistic enough. De Niro is at his usual best but one good actor and a good performance are not enough. If you want to see Scorsese better films watch "raging bull" and the "goodfellas" instead.
