| User ReviewVeronica SBy Taxi Driver's release both De Niro and Scorsese were already well regarded by film fans and this film- which wasn't a huge hit upon release- is now considered one of their de factor movies along with Mean Streets, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. Travis Bickle has become a legend for many lost young men all around the world and De Niro is so good you can't help but feel for him even though he is socially clueless and probably a sociopath. Jodie Foster is excellent as the young prostitute and this is an indication of how great an actress she was even as a 12 year old. Taxi Driver has become a staple for the anarchist, lost youth and you owe it to yourself to see the reason why. |
| User ReviewBruno LThis is much better than the remake with Hema Malini. Great songs yet again |
| User ReviewLaure TThis is NOT the Taxi Driver of Robert DeNiro. This one came 20 years earlier in India. This comes from 1954 (NOT the 1960s like Flixters plot says). About the Taxi-Driver "Hero" and the women that love him. There is a musical number in nearly every scene. Comical, interesting and amusing. Very campy - very fifties and strangely fun to watch |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis was an OK movie, but I can't put it high on my list of favorites. |
