Mini-Review: Slow. Neither De Niro nor Shepherd are sympathetic. Though Herrmann's music might be good on its own, it is a bad fit for this movie. The ways in which Taxi Driver has aged are similar to other celebrated movies from the 70s. Features the most awkwardly edited gunfight I have ever seen. Jodie Foster acts well, but her character is not very interesting. The beautiful driving scenes with lots of bokeh blur is probably what I'll remember about this movie.
