Collective New York phobias. These mercilessly observed encounters could easily have become monotonous if the hero himself remained a simple polestar of sanity. He perhaps begins as one. But he undergoes a gradual transformation from everyman to "other-man," becoming stranger and stranger, differenter and differenter, as the night rolls on. New Yorkized, you might want to say, but better just say humanized.

Underrated Scorsese film. This is funny and disturbing at the same time--just the way I like 'em.

If Martin Scorsese and David Lynch had a baby, this is the film it would make. "One big dark nightmare" is right.

It has some very good moments, and the visuals are great. However, the plot is extremely repetitive, with the same devices being used over and over again. Worse, almost none of it seems realistic. The story was too outlandish for me to recommend it.

Somewhat dated by now but really a funny and cynical tale and film-direction. Sure, a "small" Scorsese, as he said himself when the film was presented at the Cannes festival, adding that from the beginning to the end, the film has been designed as a "farce". I liked these weird moments and sudden accelerations that bring the "hero" out of his normal, well-regulated life.

Scorsese uses the thin line between comedy and horror to great effect making the film very tense and wonderfully funny. The whole film is just so delightfully absurd and it relishes it.

What a bizzare trip.

Under the radar but awesome scorsese flick

Amazing dark comedy from Scorsese showing just how wrong a night out can go. The lead finds himself in worse and worse situations as his night goes on that are both hilarious and disturbing. The movie never stops for a second constantly spiraling out of control until finally the night is over. If you're a fan of dark comedies, Scorsese movies or awesome things in general you must watch this film.

Both frustrating to watch (in a good way) and with a twisted sense of humor. A fun little movie about a night that goes from weird to worse.

Such a great secret of cinema

A manic Scosese film.

Scorsese uses the thin line between comedy and horror to great effect making the film very tense and wonderfully funny. The whole film is just so delightfully absurd and it relishes it. It is all just utterly mad featuring everything from ice-cream trucks that are trying to run Paul down to a...well, you can't really top a man being chased by an ice cream truck so I'll just stop that list there. Delightfully funny, delightfully dark and for my money easily among Scorsese's best.

A fun ride.

Awkward, unsettling, symbolic, cathartic, manic and about 1200 other adjectives I can't spell or pronounce. Also, the WORST DATE MOVIE EVER!
