March 13, 2018 Taxi Driver (1976)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075314/
A mentally unstable veteran works as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City, where the perceived decadence and sleaze fuels his urge for violent action.
A gritty and grimy look at the sense of hopelessness that drives a man to become a vigilante. Felt slow while watching however in hindsight Travis' own social ineptitudes were on show rather than building a supporting cast. The gritty style and jazzy score intermingle superbly building up as events unfold. I feel it glorifies vigilantism a tad but I don't know if that is just me.
3/5
