If your not a fan of Taxi Driver, you won't like this. If you love Taxi Driver you may not like this. Very similar story, direction and feelings tho that I come away with watching them. Joaquin is excellent. Some of the stuff I still need to digest, lots of racial components that are probably intentional, along with music choices like Gary Glitter, Phillips seems aware he's trying to incite something here but Im not sure what. Is the ending a twist? Guess open to interpretation same as Taxi Driver. I'll see again on video but it was one of the better movies I've seen this year, not a comic book movie other than location and character names.
