Prior to watching Taxi Driver, knowing the hype surrounding the film, I was intrigued and eager to watch what is considered by many - ''The greatest character study of all time.'' After watching Taxi Driver, I must say, I have never been more disappointed by a film. I am struggling to find anything positive to say about it. Yes Robert De Niro's performance was good but certainly not his best. The film felt extremely slow-paced and boring due to the simplistic plot which was like a straight line - no twists, no fear, no emotion just utter boredom. I still recommend the film because i guess it is just not for everyone (certainly not for me) and there is still a great amount of people who enjoyed the film so you need to watch it to form your own opinion.
