Three words: "Taxi Driver" rules!

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 1998)

Some more words: This is my favorite movie directed by Martin Scorsese! "Taxi Driver" is such a tense and compelling character study of a lonely man who slowly but surely loses his sanity as he observes society just degenerating all around him. And all this is done with a very high caliber cast. No one could have acted out the taxi driver role better than Robert De Niro. He is simply unbeatable. Harvey Keitel also shines in this movie as a Puerto Rican pimp, as well as Jodie Foster playing as the child prostitute. Martin Scorsese even acts out a role and actually does a fairly convincing job as a jealous madman. There is no sugar coating on this slice-of-life movie. Everything is brutally real here. In short, "Taxi Driver" rules!
