A Scorsese treat

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2014)

First and foremost kudos to De Niro!!!..he was just brilliant as an unstable war veteran,flawless acting. Jodie Foster as the twelve year old forced into the adult business does her part neatly although i would have liked more screen presence for her. Coming to the whole picture, its just brilliant direction with an awesome star cast. The pace of the movie could have been better but that's just me. Not to forget, the background score, which was aptly scored and the slow jazz in the scenes involving Travis and Betsy just conveys the correct mood of Travis being completely enchanted on being with her.Overall its a simple movie with a simple story line which would leave you simply astonished.
Bottom Line : A must watch if you are a fan of De Niro!!!
