<P>There are few modern American directors who are as obsessed with sin as Paul Schrader (<i>Hardcore</i> and <i>Comfort of Strangers</i>). Sometimes it works, as in <i>Taxi Driver</i>, which he scripted. But sometimes Mr. Schrader gets so obsessed that he forgets that the sheer strength of moral convictions doth not a film make. You need a few other things: a well-paced plot and a convincing main character, for example.
