A haunting character study wrapped in neo-noir grit, Taxi Driver is a masterful exploration of isolation, alienation, and urban decay. Robert De Niro delivers an unforgettable performance as Travis Bickle, a lonely cab driver whose descent into paranoia and violence is both mesmerizing and deeply unsettling. Scorsese’s direction is hypnotic, immersing the audience in the grime and chaos of 1970s New York, while Bernard Herrmann’s eerie score amplifies the film’s creeping tension. Dark, thought-provoking, and iconic—Taxi Driver is a cinematic powerhouse that lingers long after the credits roll.
