not worth two hours

Rating: 7/10 (18 February 1999)

I'd say Taxi Driver was good enough to hold my attention, but not good enough to entertain me. DeNiro is simply a good enough screen personality to make any movie watchable. Heck, I could watch him read the paper and be intrigued. There were a couple of memorable scenes, and we all know what they were, which made me glad to have seen it. The rest was just weird and hard for me to identify with. Jody Foster was annoying to me. I'm not saying the film was bad, but that's about it.
