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!)

Very underrated film from Martin Scorsese, in which he returns to the neo-noir genre that he mastered with Taxi Driver in the 70s. It's gritty, well-shot, and it's one of Nic Cage's best performances.

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.

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.

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.

This Taxi Driver variant successfully deploys Nick Cage as its Stygian boatman, identifying his manic presence and wistful voice-over skills as ideal neo-noir assets. It's almost exhaustingly dire, but frequent shocks of black humor keep it from flatlining. It certainly doesn't play as a recruitment driver for the ambulancing profession, the poor bastards.

Has the same surrealistic nightmare quality that After Hours did, but is very different in tone at times; After Hours never slowed down for the more dramatic moments that this movie contains, and they work very well here. All of the performances are pretty solid (I especially like Rhames), and Cage is fine as the lead, though his narration is superfluous and a bit too eloquent for its own good. Scorsese gives the movie a headlong energy that keeps you at the edge of your seat. A damn fine movie.

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?

Watching Scorsese once every while makes me realize how much he is a master of fluid filmmaking. He plays film like a brilliant instrumentalist and is unique in his ways of doing so. He's in total control over his craft. If you don't think so, you haven't watched enough movies. Special mention to Ving Rhames who is so good in here.

"Bringing out the Dead" is a mess, a depressing, ugly mess that doesn't know whether it is a dark comedy or a bleak character study; it's a film with no plot and, most probably, no meaning -and it is a film that has Martin Scorsese directing, always on the top of his game, always uncompromising, always achieving visual perfection. Schrader fails in recapturing "Taxi Driver"'s spirit, but the directorial powers of the master are likely to floor you, despite the general dissatisfaction.

Dingy 90s atmosphere befitting of the setting, which is a city that threatens to swallow them all. Not really any moments of positivity because it emphasizes how stressful being a paramedic is. And yet, despite how depressing it sounds on paper, it's an incredibly kinetic film. It's actually a lot of fun with some low-key humour that worked. Cage was meant for this role. The only issue is that I wish Goodman was in it more because he and Cage were the best.

Vastly underrated, this film is like watching and living with insomnia. (Having suffered that illness myself, I feel an authority.) This is Cage's masterpiece--no other film of his so involves the viewer in the character of the protagonist. After viewing this I felt like I'd had a nightmare. I felt every horrible emotional trauma and subsequent emotional detachment that Cage's character did. Scorsese perfectly framed, paced, and shot this flick to ensure complete conveyance of the right mood.

Skating between reality and a nightmare, Scorsese's oft forgotten conclusion to the 90s is a trip. He manages to rein in a Cage performance that could have easily gone off the rails as well as direct the walking pile of cocaine that is Tom Sizemore. While this film might be the only example of over-direction from Scorsese, the chaos depicted feels visceral.

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.

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.

A hilarious and pitch black comedy, there are some undeniable similarities to certain previous Scorsese films. The plot touches on points that recall Taxi Driver (a man, driving through the dregs of New York City by night, in the midst of a mental breakdown), and like After Hours, its tone is exhaustive and the landscape surreal. The acting is fantastic, the wide range of faces bringing to life many bold and animated characterizations.

I actually saw this before I saw Taxi Driver, which may be why I rank it as high as I do. It's not as good as Taxi Driver of course, and it's hard to resist the temptation of holding it up to the standard of that masterpiece because of how similar they are in structure and tone.

You know, a few months ago I hated Nicholas Cage. Who could blame me? I'd only ever seen his hollywood action flicks, and the biggest compliment I could give him was that he's extremely good at acting like John Travolta. Now, however, I am enlightened. With the right man at the helm, Cage can deliver some sensational performances. He's backed by a solid soundtrack, some seeringly quick and beautifully shot driving scenes, and exceptional writing full of sarcastic wit and real emotion. Brilliant.

The movie makes you feel like a sleep deprived EMS driver suffering from the decay of the city and unending deaths of a drug wave, which coincidentally is what the movie is about. Nick Cage gives one of his best performances and you can tell he respects the role. The only gripe I have is one common to Scorsese, the exaggeration is closer to fiction than fact.

Another underrated Scorsese movie. His style in the '90s was quite abundant and it's all quite excitingly exaggerated here (to showcase Cage's caffeine-and-booze-and-pills generated lacking grip on reality), but its situated in the darkest, grimmest areas of New York and this filmic style doesn't diminish this disturbing portrayal -- it just makes it a whole lot less depressing.

Like a mixture of Taxi Driver and After Hours, but without the magic that makes those the two best Scorsese films. Nicolas Cage is great, as are his three partners: John Goodman, Tom Sizemore and Ving Rhames. Sometimes it's funny, it's also really grimy and Scorsese does a nice job with the scenes of the ambulance racing through the streets. I like the soundtrack too.

Marty plumbed the depths and darkness that is city life and captured it perfectly. So grimy and grotesque. Cage also delivers flawlessly. My only complaint, really, is how repetitive it was, even though I know that was the intention. It drives home that insanity aspect but I still find myself growing impatient by the end of the 2 hours. In the end it doesn't really matter, this was still great.

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.

Another one of those "realistic" movies where everyone is drunk, drugged or psychotic. I can't take movie like this seriously. The acting is decent for the most part with some stilted dialogue that doesn't sound natural and a few lapses of over acting. The side characters tend to overact and the whole thing comes of like a warped black comedy which seem mostly unintended. This movie just keeps droning on and on and on.

Cage is great as a burnt-out medic, and the dazzling visual style, alternating effectively between stasis and kinesis, reflects the disoriented mood of its protagonist's sleep deprived mind. The supporting actors all do fine work, especially Sizemore and Rhames, who are both funny, and the frank depiction of their chaotic working lives makes for some memorable, and strangely humourous, moments. Not all of the humour or scenes work, but it is arguably Scorsese's most underrated film.

Bringing Out The Dead's exploration into the morose insanity of a paramedic's job and life starts out as a maniacally thrilling and thought-provoking piece of cinema. Unfortunately, the movie is content to keep painting the same dreary picture throughout its runtime with very little closure or development, and this ultimately makes the film a chore to get through.

Although parts of this are a little too outside the realm of possibility - largely Tom Sizemore's character, who pushes the extremes of the story a little too much, this is another great New York movie from Marty, and it's a shame Nic Cage didn't do more with him - he totally nails it here. The plot structure, the overexposed lighting, the music, the somewhat dreamlike, hallucinatory edges, all add to a central Cage performance where he looks and feels like he needs to escape from his own movie.

When this film is good, it's great. Cage delivers one of his great unhinged performances in the second half and with it's really dark sense of humour it's really fun to watch. Rhames is also a total scene stealer and the cinematography worked really well for me. However you feel it misses the mark a little in what it set out to achieve, even if overall it seems to be somewhat underrated in Scorcese's filmography.

America's EMS system is in shambles and takes a serious toll on the workers. The film takes us into the uncomfortable world of medical services, which has unusual amounts of despair, death, and malaise and offers a contrary view to the usual romanticized medical life. Despite the originality, the story ends up being too wayward for my taste and pulls it back a star. Prepare for some uneasy viewing.

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.

Schrader and Scorsese swap out the taxi for an ambulance and deliver another great New York by night ride-a-long with a cast full of colorful characters, interesting themes, and wild visuals. The drawbacks are mostly in the structure and the somewhat loose tying together of the many disparate narrative threads, plus Cage's narration can be woefully overwrought at points, but I would guess that was pulled straight from the source novel.

A film that pushes absurdity to the very limit of ridiculous without being so out there that it takes you out of the story. You can tell Scorsese had some fun directing this one. He lets the actors go for broke while setting up some interesting shots that you won't see in many of his other movies. It's a shame this movie is so under the radar as I found it pretty damn enjoyable.

There is a comment about the state of EMS paramedics in here, but Scorsese doesn't know what to do with it, so he just leaves it at that. There is some fun to be had when Nic Cage and his colleagues talk about their own misery or get up to shenanigans, but overall rather flat.

Frank doesn't achieve the level of disturbance of Travis Bickle, but demands some attention. This Schrader/Scorsese film is not compelling as it should be -- it is funny, actually --, and relies on Nic Cage, on one of his best roles.

Has some nice moments and characters with a very gloomy and dark atmosphere but overall fells unsatisfying, also I think that Nicolas was miscast.

Real life has this unreal edge to it one calls surreal, & cruising on the edge between life & death or misery & mercy is just the place to find the high drama absurd. The scary is made beautiful. Not much story here, mostly morbid curiosity, and that's plenty compelling. Occasionally slow.

This is Scorsese completely out of new ideas, remaking Taxi Driver in the worst of ways.

1 ambulans hizmetlisinin hikayesi. Kafayı sıyıran sağlıkcımız, kurtardığı 1 hastanın kızına aşık olur. Martin Scorsese bu filmde pek cesaretli olamamış. Nicolas Cage'a torpil geçmiş. Patricia Arquette'li sahneler çok kötü. Yine de öykünün özünü iyi yansıtmış. Abartının dozu da kaçmış. Filmin sonunda, babayı hakkı rahmetine kavuşturuyor. Patron çıldırdı.

Decent enough thriller directed by Scorcese. Not really one of his best works--mainly because Nicholas Cage is truly miscast here. I would watch at your own risk.

cok iyi olabilecekken martin scorsese'nin yada senaristlerin harcadigi bir film olmus. yine de atmosferi icin izlenir; guzel sahneler var. ayrica gecenin sonuna yolculuk'a ve bardamu'ya yapilan gondermeler hos olmus. karakterin ustunde oldukca bardamu etkisi en azindan bardamu'nun daha bardamu olmadan onceki hali var diyebiliriz. yada gecenin sonuna yolculuk'u okumus birinin bardamu etkisiyle yazdigi bir hikaye.

Follows Taxi Driver and After Hours pretty well with some interesting philosophy and good to great performances by Cage, Ving Rhames and Cliff Curtis: "Stop jerkin mah pole!"

This was when I realized I cannot stand Cage's perpetually tragic physiognomy anymore.

Nicolas Cage is perfectly cast as the sleep-deprived and depressed paramedic who seems to be one more bad shift away from a total mental breakdown. The movie surrounding him is appropriately dark and seedy, but can sometimes feel meandering and always very much like it was made in the late 90s. Not one of Scorcese's best, but worth seeing nonetheless.

Truly underrated and underseen Scorsese entry that is an interesting sibling of sorts to Taxi Driver, with Schrader returning to perform screenwriting duties.
