I think this film is underrated. Scorsese returns to the Taxi Driver streets, in an ambulance, and discovers menace once more, searching for its meaning in his Catholic heritage.

A weird one, watched it in bits so can't comment too much.

Good Movie

Uniquely Scorsese. The soundtrack rivals that of Goodfellas. A visual nervous breakdown with a slice of life "story." A very complete and masterful film despite what you may have heard. I actively dislike people who trash this.

Probably Scorsese's most underrated film. And considering the collaboration of all those involved, that's rather confusing. Yes, it's a spiritual successor to Taxi Driver, but since when is that a bad thing? BotD has some of Scorsese's most beautiful cinematography (partially thanks to Dante Ferretti), bolstered by Schrader's religious wit and some great performances, especially by Cage and Rhames (and Cliff Curtis!)

An amazing movie and without a doubt one of Scorsese's best.

A slog. Cage is dreadful and the other three ambulance drivers are all hamming it up as well, half of the humour falls flat on its face whilst the other half is just outright annoying and disruptive, the surreal edge of the film doesn't convince even the tiniest bit as much as in Scorsese's superb After Hours but instead just comes of has hokey and silly, and the images and music choices are both just all so garish. Who thought that soundtrack would be a good idea?

Arguably Scorsese's most underrated film. Some of the blackest comedy I've ever seen, really really hilarious at times. Voice over wasn't that hot all the time and Goodman was clearly inferior to the other guys Cage worked with (Rhames, Sizemore) but those are really my only complaints. Soundtrack is amazing and I loved how the cinematography paralleled Cage's mood. Cage is in his Leaving Las Vegas mode, which is great, and who doesn't love Patricia Arquette?

Great film! I felt like I was watching the New York EMS version of "Catch 22". Cage, his fellow paramedics, and the hospital staff seemed trapped in a dystopian world where natural order is broken down to a point of no return. Some truly great cinematography is evident here, it really brings the madness to life.

Another damn good Scorsese film with the fun Nicolas Cage in the lead. Full of dark humour, eerie scenes and questionable characters, this is both bleak and humourous at different times. Something is a little off in the film that doesn't bring it up to the standards of other Scorsese films, and I have a feeling it's because the narrative isn't as tight as in others and the Cage sort of drifts around, though I'm sure that's intentional it's still odd to watch. Awesome film, highly recommended.

Nightmarish ambulances rush through the graveyard shift of the revolting city decaying within Cage's mind. He's haunted by ghosts. He's working in madness. He can't quit. We can't look away. We have the perfect soundtrack. The perfect camera work. The perfect actor and director. Genius at its darkest core.

Bringing Out the Dead shows Scorsese at the top of his form with a powerful film about a man who tries to do the right thing but seems to get anywhere. He is a guy who suffers because of his inability to do anything good, he wants to help he can't. He's out everynight and he being driven crazy by the weight of suffering that comes down on him. This is not a easy movie. But it's a wonderful film with fire and passion. The movie is alive, bright and vibrant with the characters and locations.

D.O.A.
