A very moving story about a lonely taxi driver

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2013)

Taxi Driver isn't one of those movies where you can just sit down any moment and watch the film nor is this film for everyone. The film is told from the view point of a taxi driver named Travis, played by legendary actor Robert de Niro. It tells the tale of this taxi driver who begins to question the life around him during his time as a nighttime taxi driver and eventually attempts to put an end to the scum the city has produced.
The acting, first of all, is brilliant. Robert de Niro is in this movie...Need I say anymore about him. A younger Jodie Foster is also in this movie as Iris, a young girl who is a prostitute who was unable to be saved by Travis one night and was set off with a bribe. This continues to haunt him and so, Travis leads a rescue mission to save Iris and reduce the town of its violence.
The movie is simply said, flawless in every manner. There isn't a weak part about the film. The character of Travis is very interesting, the dialogue is moving, the acting and direction is brilliant and the story is great.
Like I said earlier, this movie isn't for everyone and many will not like this movie if the genre of Drama doesn't suit them. The film is slowly paced but I had a blast from start to finish and by the end of the film, wish it were longer!
Go check it out but I cannot promise that everyone will love this movie. Its to me, a true classic!
