A classic (but not dated) film.

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 1999)

Despite all the talk about this film having one of the most graphic shooting scenes (towards the end), it is still a sobering and stylish effort from the legendary Scorsese. Robert DeNiro shines as a pyschotic Viet Nam veteran turned cabbie, who vents his hostilities towards the sleaziness on the streets of Manhattan. Peter Doyle was excellent as wizard, Bickle's confidante, as was Cybil Sheperd as the campaign manager, and Harvey Kietel as the street pimp. Jodie Foster was the film's downside, her character was much too quirky, far-fetched, and unfocused. (And the ending seemed a little quick.) but overall, an excellent flick. It's a shame Mr. Maltin didn't have the brain power to understand it.
