The film was controversial at the time. Some critics expressed concern over 13-year-old Jodie Foster's presence during the shoot-out at the end. However, rather than being upset or traumatized, Foster said, she was fascinated and entertained by the behind-the-scenes preparation that went into the scene. She had psychological testing to ensure that she would not be emotionally scarred by her role. Movie critic Roger Ebertinstantly praised the movie as one of the greatest films he'd ever seen, claiming: "Taxi Driver" is a hell,from the opening shot of a cab emerging from…clouds of steam to the climactic killing scene." The film was chosen by "Time" magazine as one of the 100 best films of all time.
当时，这部影片饱受争议。许多影评人认为13岁的朱迪·福斯特出现在最后的枪击镜头中不合时宜。但是，朱迪·福斯特并没有感到不安和害怕，她说她对幕后的准备工作感到很快乐，她已经做过了心里检查，以确保她没有因这一角色而遭受心理创伤。影评人罗杰·艾伯特高度赞扬了这部电影，他认为这是他看过的最伟大的电影作品，它说：“出租车司机就是一个巨大的旋涡，从电影开始时司机从车里出现时的云雾，到最后枪杀的高潮场景。”时代杂志把这部影片列入到了100部最佳电影作品当中。
