Taxi Driver's undiminished power owes partially to Scorsese's harnessing of Michael Johnson's restless camerawork.

A bloated yet sporadically electrifying drama...

It's a spiritual film, tracking Robert De Niro's 'Nam vet as he takes the wrong path towards cleaning New York's streets, minds and souls.

... a primal portrait and uncompromising vision carved out of the New York night, the summer heat, and the garbage of the Times Square cesspool.

A remarkable, disturbing film with an unforgettable musical score from the great Bernard Herrmann.

Bickle is complex, intriguing and never one-note.

As with John Wayne's Ethan Edwards (Travis's spiritual forefather), his thwarted patriarchal possessiveness is not tempered by anything like genuine concern, yet it is enough... to make him a peculiarly American folk hero.

Martin Scorsese's unflinching plunge into the darkest recesses of the human soul feels painfully relevant.

Like Werner Herzog's Aguirre or Coppola's Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver is auteurist psychodrama.

[Scorsese] seems to need scripts with well-designed humor and performers with the spirit of Ellen Burstyn to compensate for what seems to be a fundamentally depressed view of life and the belief that sobriety is the equivalent of seriousness.

It's a powerful film and a terrific showcase for the versatility of star Robert De Niro.

De Niro ... manages to be as sad as he is frightening. From his general discomfort with others and his feeble attempts at communication, it's possible to recognize the root cause of Travis' inner distress as a terrible longing for approval.
