If Travis Bickle were to trade his taxi cab for an ambulance, we'd of had "Bringing Out the Dead" back in 1976. This is definitely the closest Martin Scorsese has ever come to a tearjerker.

Unflinching and relentless drama with a dark sense of humor and a good lead performance by Nicolas Cage as Frank, a burned out ambulance driver working the night shift in NYC. Ving Rhames and John Goodman provide solid comic relief as his coworkers. Marc Anthony has a nice supporting part as a drug addict. Patricia Arquette's character seems like she's important on paper. But it's more of a sidenote to the manic episodic plot.

Easily Scorsese's most underrated. A sad but hard hitting and beautiful movie.

This is a terribly depressing film from Schorsese about a burnt out paramedic with seemingly nothing more to live for. Nicolas Cage looks about two steps away from death - though the colorful supporting cast is interesting.

Disappointing. Scorsese clearly missed the mark on this one! After loving almost all of his films and I did not see anything really good in this movie other than the music and some cinematography. The pacing and story were way off.
