In Vienna we have our wonderful Gartenbau Kino, built in the 60's. The ideal cinema to show Taxi Driver in 2016. For me it was the first time to see this classic movie. And I was a little bored. Only the acting of De Niro and Jodie Foster was superb. All the others acted really bad (especially Shepherd - I doubt Columbia's casting judgment ability for this movie...). Directing was okay. Schrader's twist at the end unexpectedly run into an unbelievable happy end. I was totally perplex watching a twist like that. Filmmusic was repetitive and annoying. I guess, I give 6 stars, because this movie stands as an official classic. Otherwise I would rate it with 5 stars only.
