A masterpiece, with great mood and characters

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 1998)

Taxi Driver is one of my all time favorite films. It is Scorsese's finest work. Every element in the rising action of the film adds to an uneasy tension. From the steaming sewers, to assorted people on the sidewalks, to Travis' bleak, disturbing narration, and each camera movement unseats the viewer giving you the same experience Travis is having. Due to this feeling created by the film, you can really understand the Travis character. He is the only film psycho, which I can really empathise with. He is completely over the edge, and yet at the same time completely understandable. Scorsese's brilliant directing, and DeNiro's amazing acting together create one of the most incredible film experiences I have ever had.
