My absolute favorite movie of all time. A true cinematic masterpiece. Everything about this film is perfection, from the moody atmosphere, to Bernard Hermann's score, to the acting. This a dark film about a man who is lost and slowly devolving into a ticking time bomb. DeNiro is a quiet revelation in this. There is not a dull moment in this film, and every scene builds to its climax. The final scene is haunting, and you realize that Travis is stuck in some sort of Hell for which he can not escape. Scorsese's best film, in my humble opinion.
