Boring for 96% of the film

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2014)

This is an old movie, and I'm an old guy. I was checking out the top 250 for movies I had not yet seen, and Taxi Driver was on my list. Give the high rating, I expected a fantastic movie. What I received instead was a major snooze fest through which I struggled to stay awake for the majority of the film. It is dark and grit, but I guess I was expecting something more than never materialized. The best part of the film was the last five minutes. In fact, I think this film could be reduced to a thirty minute show and have greater impact. This is not a film I would watch a second time, and why it's listed in the top 250 is beyond me. Granted, whats his face is a great actor and he did as well as he could with this film. I enjoyed seeing a young Jodie Foster. That's about it. 6/10.
