Any new movie that sticks Robert De Niro behind the wheel of a taxi is just asking for trouble. In “Being Flynn,’’ the 68-year-old actor plays Jonathan Flynn, Manhattan cabbie and a legend in his own mind. He thinks he’s one of the three greatest American writers of all time (Twain and Salinger being the other two), but we and anyone who gets in his cab can see that he’s a manic-depressive loose cannon. Jonathan is what Travis Bickle might have become if he hadn’t gone off the reservation back in ’76 but instead had spent decades stewing in his own bile.
