Taxi Driver (1976)

Martin Scorsese's always hit-or-miss for me. Some of his movies I really like and others I just can't connect with. This one was consistently interesting all the way through. De Niro is WONDERFUL as Travis Bickle - I've mostly seen him in gangster movies and his horrible later-in-life choices, so I loved seeing him play a new character and realizing, "wow, this guy can really act." I don't know if I could tell you what the movie was *about*, other than the character himself, but I enjoyed watching it. 4 stars.
