Review of Taxi Driver (1954) by Alex A — 12 Sep 2014
With an electrifying lead from De Niro, beautiful cinematography, a leisurely developed final act with a powerful climax and a nearly flawless character study, Taxi Driver is incredibly immersive. Travis Bickley is developed perfectly with gritty diary-narration that vivifies and unravels his corroded mind, and everyone turns in splendid performances.
The score is a little overused, but that's merely a non-existent nitpick for Taxi Driver, an involving, occasionally witty but horrific tale of a disturbed individuals perceived duty to be the "real rain" that wipes and washes scum off the street.
