Wow!

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2018)

Taxi Driver started strong and the overall film was good and enjoyable. The Robert De Niro played his character very well. The character was a veteran and tended to be distant at times, almost like a sociopath which he ended up being. De Niro fit this role that he took on and was believable. Jodie Foster played her character, Iris who was a child, good as well. Her looks and acting fit the part. She was able to make the audience feel pity for her.
The tone of the movie was well portrayed, it was slow and dismal. This feel was the result of showing the night traffic in New York City. The film didn't end when I was expecting it to. The Travis was injured closer to the end of the film and it seemed as if it was going to be fatal. But it was actually him pretending to shoot himself in the head because he had run out of bullets. He did this because the police were rushing into the building. It ended with a happily which I didn't predict would happen either. Overall, I give this film a 9/10 and would recommend to others who appreciate in depth and sometimes morbid story telling. I would not recommend to the average movie goer.
