Taxi Driver is wildly accepted as Martin Scorsese's cinematic masterpiece. It's a psychological thriller jam packed with pulse pounding shots that are designed to keep the viewer guessing. The main character, Travis is a strange individual shrouded in mystery, so his story is very unpredictable.

The character, Nick Carraway would be portrayed by Timothee Chalamet. Timothee Chalamet is an American actor. He began his career in short films, but he has been getting more exposure especially from the recent Oscars.
