7/10
TAXI DRIVER (1976). I admire this film a lot, and urge everyone to see it, but if I’m honest, it’s not a film I want to go back to. The mood is unrelentingly grim, there’s not a single appealing character in the film, and while de Niro is astonishingly good as Travis Bickle, he’s not a guy you want to spend any more time with than you have to. Great, but not that entertaining.
