I can see why people said Joker has similarities to this film both have a unstable loner who believe the world's against them.
DeNiro plays Travis a Vietnam vet who suffers from insomnia and takes a job as a taxi driver, but this only makes the unstable Travis worse as he sees the absolute worse humanity has to offer . There is a small sliver of light in his dark world in the form of Cybal Shepard's character but he screws that up by taking her to see a porno in a filthy cum stained cinema ! But he completely goes over the edge when he meets Jodie Fosters child prostitute , Foster really should of gotten best supporting actor for her role. The film ends in a bloody shootout , I was surprised that he actually survived . A excellent film that deserves it's classic status.
Now watching
