I got around to watching taxi driver recently and was excited to view it thanks thanks all they hype surrounding it. Although when I watched it I didn't enjoy it as much as other people seemed to.

Whereas the performances are good (nothing insane but still good) it is brought down by the story. The story, which attempts to be an unsettling thriller doesn't achieve this at all as the film is just so boring that I couldn't see past that. Nothing really happe s until the end and even then, the exciting or actually entertaining bit only lasts for a few minutes. I am an admirer of Martin Scorsese but this is not one of this very good films in my opinion.

That being said, the dialogue and monologue is very good but that is the films only redeeming feature. It's certainly not bad but it's certainly not good either.
