5 stars (Exceptional) Unforgettable tale about a highly disturbed Vietnam vet turned New York cabbie prowling the streets, on a mission to leave his mark on society. The film that kicked off both De Niro and Foster's successful acting careers. A real classic. ~GenXGirl

4 stars (Very Good) De Niro is brilliant, as is a very young-looking Jodie Foster. Violent and psychotic, there is not much to the story, but De Niro establishes one of the most memorable characters in history. You lookin' at me? ~Tom H
