But this is one of two exceptions (The other being A Question of Faith). The acting is good in this movie. I also appreciated the short but sweet appearance of Queen Latifah (who I believe is underappreciated as an actress) and the overall joyful feeling that comes at the end. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the constant mention of Christianity, but hey, it doesn't ruin the movie.
Taxi Driver is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm rewatching it for the third time and I can never get tired of it. This is maybe Martin Scorsese's best movie, certainly one of his best. I love the slow portrayal of Travis's slip to insanity. I also like that they used an actual underage (at the time) girl for the part of Iris instead of just an adult that they try to make look like a teen. Taxi Driver is an edgy classic that should definitely be brought up whenever anyone is discussing iconic movies.
I love the minimal use of color. The acting is good. The black and white really adds to the gritty tone. However, the fighting scenes look very cartoonish and unrealistic. Some of the practical effects look cheap as well. I'm giving it a 7/10 because the story is amazing, but it's a little rough aesthetically.
