Directed by Martin Scorsese.
Robert De Niro plays an unstable war veteran who works as a taxi man at night time in the streets of New York. Feeling disgusted and angry by the corrupt streets, he tries to take matters in his own hands, by trying to save a 13 yr old prostitute played by Jodie Foster.
The key focuses in the film caused a little tension, as it was seen as controversial at the time, however that did not stop the 4 Oscar nominations and a string of awards the following year.
This film encapsulates the audience as they get absorbed into the life of Bickle (De Niro) and the way he sees the people around him. It is a powerful movie, highlighting the "night time life" of NYC making it a promising watch.
