Summary: ...
Review: It's better than the average movie, but not his best. I would have liked to see him do a little more after he "flipped out." But a very good movie with all very good actors and actresses.

Summary: Masterpiece of Slum
Review: The details are vivid and ugly, and, that is what makes this film so intoxicating. The photography is brilliant and fluid, creating a buffer for this grim, pale, transient life. Bernard Herman's score is chilling, making DeNiro's Travis Bickle all the more intimidating. It's like watching a book. A book by Charles Bukowski, or some other skid row beat. Scorsese is absolutley on top of his game here, sacrificing nothing, to bring the characters full circle. One of the best films ever made. Full of life, dirt and nuanced character portrayls by Harvey Keitel, Jodie Foster, and DeNiro, who burns through the screen like a subdued meteor. Perfect.

Summary: One of THE Best
Review: One of the best films ever made. DeNiro has never shined this much before. M.S.'s finest film. This DVD is a must with great extras for all the fans.

Summary: Travis's Crusade
Review: Taxi Driver is without a doubt powerful, effective movies ever made. De Niro plays Bickle, a NY cab driver with stark reality. All actors are dead on target, including Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel. Bickle gets sick of the people he sees around him and takes it upon himself to rid the world of these people. The climax of the film is one of the most intense in all of film's history, as well as one of the most brilliantly filmed. Taxi Driver is not only an aestetically pleasing movie, but also one of those that will have you pondering about it well afterward.

Summary: Worthless Testosterone Trip
Review: I find it hard to believe that so many people are able to enjoy this movie. Though not particularly long, it seems to drag by, and Scorsese doesn't help by leaving so much dead time, it turns into a graveyard, literally and metaphorically. The theme is poorly conveyed, the plot is vapid and nonsensical, and the acting is fairly sub-par. The characters are barley there, and their lack of development and history really adds to the convoluted plot. In the end, it turns into an average testosterone driven shoot-out, leaving you angry and confused. This, next to "Runaway Bride" and "Home Alone" is the worst movie I've ever seen.

Summary: electric
Review: For me,I think this is probably the finest collaboration between Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro.Even now after so many viewings I still remember the incredible impact this amazing film had on me the very first time I saw it.Bernard Hermann's fine score adds tremendously to the squalid atmosphere and the disintegration of Travis Bickle's fragile mind.70's film-making at its zenith.

Summary: "Loneliness has followed me my whole life"
Review: Robert De Niro stars as a lonely taxi driver named Travis Bickle in this Martin Scorsese film about alienation and the human desire to belong. Travis is a single New Yorker that is having problems sleeping at night so he decides to drive a taxi to help keep him busy. You quickly learn that Travis hates most of the people in the city, remarking that they are all "pushers, pimps, thieves, crooks..." among some other things. The only thing that seems to keep Travis going is his apparent love for a young campaign worker named Betsy(Cybil Shepard). He gets enough guts to ask her out on a date and she excepts. On their second date you learn of Travis's inexperience in dating since he takes Betsy to a "dirty movie". It is then that she dumps him and Travis begins to slip into the realm of psychotic. He buys a handful of guns and begins to work out vigorously. Travis then meets a twelve year-old prostitute named Iris(Jodie Foster) who is working for a small-time pimp named Matthew or Sport(Harvey Keitel). Travis decides to become her body guard which eventually leads him to violence. Taxi Driver is a film that can seem shocking and vulgar to some, but also as a masterpiece to many others. If you are planning on buying Taxi Driver I suggest you buy the Special Edition DVD because it has better picture and sound than the VHS version and also has a 90-minute documentary on the making of the film. So sit back, get a soda and watch one of the greatest films that the 70's has to offer!

Summary: God's Lonely Man
Review: "Taxi Driver" is another one of my all-time favorite movies. True, it's a haunting and disturbing film in some cases but it's also a work of art. Scorsese and Paul Schrader(he wrote the screenplay) bring to life an unforgetable picture that should be recognized because to its universal themes and not because of the controversy surrounding it. Robert De Niro gives a performance of the highest calibur. He plays the main character, Travis Bickle. Travis is a lonely and alienated man who's both fascinated and repelled by life in New York City. When he tries to fit in the norm, he finds himself posing as a threat to the 'normal' people. When he's rejected by a beautiful socialite, Betsy (Cybil Sheperd)as well as a twelve year old prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster), he begins to go over the edge. Travis begins to become more earnest in making his presence known to everyone. He does so by taking extreme measures. Travis Bickle is someone we can all relate to. We've all felt loneliness and detachment from our surroundings at one point or another. So it's easy to sympathize with him, but you can't forget what all he goes through in order to get that recognition he desperately wants. It's an intriguing and disturbing look at a man's tortured soul. Scorsese has always done a wonderful job of getting into the minds and hearts of his central characters. His interest in learning what makes people tick is always evident. I don't recommend this movie for the faint-hearted. It's not a movie for everyone. There are many things in this film that would prove to be too much for some viewers to take. However, it is a wonderful film despite that and it's important to be open-minded.

Summary: One of DeNiro's best!
Review: This is the film that made DeNiro and Scorsese famous! It is an interesting and captivating look at a lonely taxi driver, who hates New York, and all of the "scum" that surrounds him. He eventually decends into madness, all the while trying to save a young prostitute from her sleazy pimp boyfriend. Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel also give wonderful performances. Martin Scorsese has a cameo, also. Another thing: the music score by Bernard Herrmann is also a plus. It was the very last score that he ever wrote. See it!
