You feel his anger! You feel the darkness! A gritty (and sad) movie ! A masterful performance from the great De Niro...and one of the top 20 movie in history! Taxi Driver by Martin Scorsese.

Plot Summary: Travis, an ex-marine and Vietnam veteran, works as a taxi driver in New York City. One day, he decides to save an underage prostitute from her pimp in an effort to clean the city of its corruption.

No other film has ever dramatized urban indifference so powerfully; at first, here, it's horrifyingly funny, and then just horrifying.
Martin Scorsese's unflinching plunge into the darkest recesses of the human soul feels painfully relevant.
A dark, powerful, stylized, potent production that takes the viewer deeper into a persona of insanity and alienation than many will want to go.
