It's not all bad, it's mostly quite good, I suppose, but just because it carries the Hermann-brand doesn't mean it should make a top fifty. There's only fifty slots, Diesel, let's not split hairs here hehe. Although maybe it could be in the 40-50...I'd have to write it all out to be absolutely sure, but I think I am right with my ball-parking, to be honest.
The other scene with Travis watching the soap opera, .357 in hand, eventually nudging over the set with his foot, is a very good one too. De Niro probably improvised that one. His work with the Magnum is hypnotic. It ends slightly awkwardly though.
Gotta give it up to the earlier AB scene with the Browne song!
Of course, the ultimate Travis' apartment scene will always remain the genius improv "you talkin' to me?" in-the-mirror routine.
