This was a alright movie. It may have been a different movie but it is in no way a masterpiece.

I found it to be very boring. The only good bits were Robert De Niro talking to a mirror, the scenes with Jodie Foster and the end scene.

It is very overrated and i don't see how people like it so much.

I borrowed this because of its high rating and because Martin Scorsese directed it. It is nothing compared to The Departed and Goodfellas.

One of the things that saved this movie is the acting. De Niro and Foster were great. Robert De Niro delivered a disturbing performance as a night time taxi driver who comes a across a prostitute who he feels he must save. Jodie Foster played that prostitute and her performance was great.

The only reasons to see this is the acting and the good bits which i mentioned at the start of this comment.

I recommend you see this some day.
