A TAXI DRIVER 2017 STREEMING SERIES

This is when the film's first real tonal shift occurs, adding a simmering sense of foreboding and tension beneath the otherwise unassuming plot.

Not so with 2017's 'A Taxi Driver,' which couldn't possibly be more different from the usual (typically Oscar-bait) fare.
