A sensationalized paranoia movie that is one long preparation for a massacre. It creates a tight, obsessive, suffocating world that excludes `normal' outlets for relief, rest, connection, gratification. Robert DeNiro is superb as a lonely, impotent, insomniac ex-marine provoked to orgasmic carnage. it is definitely not suitable for the squeamish, the impressionable or the very young.

Deniros best performance ever in my opinion, he gets totally wrapped up in travis bickles twisted lonely soul. Top of the range film making, disturbing and endlelessly watchable.
