Bringing Out the Dead

Incredibly interesting, and one of Cage's best!

Scorsese can do no wrong. Bringing out the Dead is another one of his films which does not have a plot, that is to say, not the typical 'roller coaster' plot with a begining, rise, climax, fall, and end. Most of Scorsese's greatest work, simply shows the lives of interesting people during a certain time period. Nicolas Cage stars as an out-of-touch EMT, who is haunted by those he has been unable to save. There are definitely three clear stages of his madness, each depicted with a new partner that he rides with, who are excellently played by John Goodman, Ving Rhames, and Tom Sizemore. But, with all of this incredible character development in just a 2-hr. film, the most amazing thing is the scenery. From the people to the music, Scorsese creates an amazing and eye-stunning recollection of night-life in early 90's New York. This is an under-rated film that Scorsese fans cannot pass up!
