Taxi Driver

I really did like this quite a bit but something just felt off about the last 45 minutes pacing-wise that takes this down a notch.  Robert DeNiro was fantastic as Travis, and it is quite impressive how well he carries the movie even when he’s not speaking. Also gets a plus out of me for including Harvey Keitel who whips ass as always.  The whole thing is beautifully shot and the score is magnificent. In fact this is probably the best score for a Scorsese film to this point in his filmography though I did like Alice... quite a bit for how well it did at capturing the location and how it changes.  I get why this receives all the love it does, and I think it deserves it, but I can’t say it’s my favorite Scorsese but far far far above average.
