Taxi Driver (18)

Crime, Drama

A mentally unstable Vietnam War veteran works as a night-time taxi driver in New York City where the perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge for violent action, attempting to save a preadolescent prostitute in the process.

The critical consensus

The rereleased 1976 shocker in which Robert De Niro roams night-time New York is fixed firmly in the past – but its visceral horror remains undimmed.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 09/02/2017

A remarkable, disturbing film with an unforgettable musical score from the great Bernard Herrmann.

Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 10/02/2017
