Often considered a cornerstone of cinema Taxi Driver left me wanting more. Its not that the movie is bad but perhaps the reputation preceding the product killed it for me. De Niro is in top form as loner Travis Bickle who tries hard to fit in but just cannot. Martin Scorsese has crafted a moody drama film set in his native streets of New York and the cinematography is sublime. It makes you feel uneasy because you are on the level of Travis. Great bit parts from Jodie Foster and Harvey Keital enhance the acting front and a sublime jazz score gives a nice touch. However I feel that the film is a tad overrated.

This intelligent film showcases the talent of a young scorsese, as one of hollywood's most prominent and creative directors.

Not much to comment here since all that has been commented here appears to cover just about everything. Except that the writer's name, Paul Shrader, coincidentally has one more letter to his name than Paul Shrade, who was shot after R. F. Kennedy was assassinated.
