Taxi Driver

a review by Ian Beale

Social outcast with a mohawk goes nutzoid

Porn obsessed loner, Travis Bickle, is a cabbie in New York. The story tells of his gradual descent into madness brought on by his inability to relate to those around him and a feeling of a lack of worth. Travis is essentially invisible - of no importance. Walton's self imposed isolation preferable to getting along with the scum around him. One day he decides to change all of that and become a somebody by murdering a politician.

This nobody with the superiority complex has gone off the rails, for certain and it can only lead to bloodshed. A lot of it will be his own.
