Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half*
Rated: 14A
Starring: according to my 14-year-old daughter – “the old guy from Joker“, “some blonde chick” and a “the lady from The Silence of the Lambs“.
Plot: A veteran turned cab driver (Robert De Niro) begins to unravel mentally as his frustration toward society builds.
Tanya’s Verdict: This one’s a slow burn relying on character development with a gigantic pay off in the end. My 14-year-old daughter asked to watch it – and all these years later – I am still impressed by it. So was she. Though she said “it wasn’t as good as she had hoped”.
It was interesting to re-watch this one after recently watching Joker .Though truth be told, I liked Joker just a touch better.
*Four score descriptions: Sh**; Okay; Good; Great
