Sharon Stone does a good job of playing a complete nutjob. I'm not normally one to complain about violence, but Jesus it was pretty brutal at points, especially at the end.
Having only seen Hugo and Shutter Island prior to my recent viewing, Taxi Driver was my first Scorsese classic, and I was a tad dissapointed. But this did not dissapoint and I look forward to watching his other classic works.
All round 180 minutes well spent. Highly reccomended to those who haven't seen it.  |
Forget any of his recent films, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and go straight to Goodfellas
Better than the Godfather, maybe. Better than the Godfather Part II, not quite. Better than the Godfather Part III, Hell yeah!
