filmsgraded.com (Brian Koller)
"Taxi Driver" is a brooding, sometimes violent character study. Although controversial, it has generally been highly praised. While it is a good film, it lacks focus, and De Niro's character transitions sometimes lack credibility. ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at filmsgraded.com (Brian Koller)
Almost Fabulous Movie Reviews
The box calls this one of the top 100 movies of all time and shows De Niro with a mohawk and was directed by Scorsese. Whee! I was ready for some creepy bloodshed! That's not exactly what I got.
I'm not sure if this was deep, intellectual and ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at Almost Fabulous Movie Reviews
Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

Perhaps the most formally ravishing-as well as the most morally and ideologically problematic-film ever directed by Martin Scorsese, the 1976 Taxi Driver remains a disturbing landmark for the kind of voluptuous doublethink it helped ratify and ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
Boulder Weekly (Thomas Delapa)
Get in and take a nightmare ride on perhaps Scorsese's best picture, the story of Vietnam vet Travis Bickle's fight to win the woman of his dreams in the seedy Big Apple. ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at Boulder Weekly (Thomas Delapa)
Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
Its brilliant performances and haunting final Bernard Herrmann score assist in making this classic about as perfect as a movie can be. ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Vigilante cabbie goes nuts and whacks a freak pimp and a coupla wise guys. So what makes this special is somewhere in the production. In fact it has to receive near perfect marks for creating the feel of being a New York cabbie, understated exotic ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Ciné-club de Caen (Jean-Luc Lacuve)
Un vétéran du Viêt-nam, le solitaire Travis Bickle, se met à conduire un taxi à New York pour échapper à ses insomnies et au dégoût que lui inspire la corruption qu'il trouve autour de lui. Après avoir essuyé un échec dans une histoire ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at Ciné-club de Caen (Jean-Luc Lacuve)

MovieEye.com (David Litton)
As a relatively new film critic with only two years of experience in writing reviews, I don't know how many fellow film buffs I've had tell me that I needed to experience "Taxi Driver." I say "experience" because every time it comes up in a ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at MovieEye.com (David Litton)

I first saw this in a long forgotten cinema in England. What I remember though was the bizarre pairing of this film and "Confessions of a Driving Instructor" on the same bill. What possessed somebody to think that these films might appeal to the same ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at a jpoc review

Deseret News, Salt Lake City
Twenty years later and "Taxi Driver" is still one of the most controversial American movies ever made. Critics are so divided on this one that in some corners it is reviled as sick, exploitative trash and in others it is revered as director Martin ...read the complete Taxi Driver movie review at Deseret News, Salt Lake City
