Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk:
Taxi Driver is the definitive cinematic portrait of loneliness and alienation manifested as violence. It is as if director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader had tapped into precisely the same source of psychological inspiration ("I just knew I had to make this film," Scorsese would later say), combined with a perfectly timed post-Watergate expression of personal, political, and societal anxiety. Robert De Niro, as the tortured, ex-Marine cab driver Travis Bickle, made movie history with his chilling performance as one of the most memorably intense and vividly realized characters ever committed to film. Bickle is a self-appointed vigilante who views his urban beat as an intolerable cesspool of blighted humanity. He plays guardian angel for a young prostitute (Jodie Foster), but not without violently devastating consequences. This masterpiece, which is not for all tastes, is sure to horrify some viewers, but few could deny the film's lasting power and importance. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
Rating:
- One of the greatest films ever. 5 Stars.
A truly great film deserving of the maximum 5 stars.
Controversy surrounded this film upon it's release and it's easy to see why upon watching. They just don't make films like this today.
I can't think of a bad thing to say about any part of the film. Keep an eye out for Scorsese's 2 cameo appearances during the film.
If you want to see what New York was like in the 1970's grime and all, buy this film.

- A new validity for this film in this new electoral year
1976 was a funny electoral year. One year after the full defeat in Vietnam and the evacuation of Saigon on the run. Two years after the resignation of Nixon, to avoid an impeachment that would have led to the very first conviction of the President. 1976 was the year when all had to changed, and nothing really changed because the establishment just looked for a way to save face and restore the everyday standard imperialistic power, and of course that will fail with Jimmy Carter, but Scorsese could ...

Rating: - Superb Oscar-Winning Films. One of Scorsese's strongest
(Warning: This film contains one blood glore scene, gun references and strong language, it is also has a rather dark and depressing theme, so please be careful when viewing if you may be affected by this)
Taxi Driver cemented the second masterpiece in my opinion from director, Martin Scorsese after his work on low budget Mean Streets in 1973. Taxi Driver is chilling, grasping, realistic and horrifying to say the least. Travis Bickle, a former US navy solider, back on US soil, applies ... Read More
Rating: - A man called Travis Bickle
Would anyone be able to relate to Travis Bickle ? He`s a freak show , a fantasist and a loner who watches porn films in cinemas with a cola in one hand and a candy bar in another and to all intents and purposes is an assassin and a stalker , but he also strikes a cord with any man who`s been angry and young and rejected . He`s an outsider that society has turned its back on : " Why won`t you talk to me " is the heartbreaking question every young angry man screams at the world when he`s very alone

Rating: - "Gods lonely man"
A little known fact about Martin Scorsese,s 1976 masterpiece is that singer Neil Diamond was actually considered for the role of Travis Bickle by one studio when it was being hawked around .How different the film would have ended up should that piece of casting borne fruit is hard to envisage .Suffice to say it wouldn't have become the definitive study of alienation and madness that it did. Instead of the famous" You talking to me?" mirror scene (incidentally , improvised by De Niro, but actually inspired ... Read More
