Very well executed
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Often considered a cornerstone of cinema Taxi Driver left me wanting more. Its not that the movie is bad but perhaps the reputation preceding the product killed it for me. De Niro is in top form as loner Travis Bickle who tries hard to fit in but just cannot. Martin Scorsese has crafted a moody drama film set in his native streets of New York and the cinematography is sublime. It makes you feel uneasy because you are on the level of Travis. Great bit parts from Jodie Foster and Harvey Keital enhance the acting front and a sublime jazz score gives a nice touch. However I feel that the film is a tad overrated.

I love De Niro and I love Scorsese! Taxi driver is one of the older classics that seems a little overrated in the first half, but is busy building toward a climatic eruption.It's pretty amazing to know just how young Jodie Fister was in her role considering what and who she was portraying.Does it still feel like an iconic film? I feel it was a film that represented the place and the time, it's pretty offensive to everyone, but also very perceptive for its time in terms of the escalation of Travis Bickle.Psychotic or hero? Conspiracist or truth seeker? Crime stopper or crime creator?
