The dark horse of Martin Scorsese films. A fever dream of high rush that strangely reminds you how alive you really are, but at the same time, a dim of insomnia that reminds you how lifeless you can feel. New York City, the city where everybody is either dead, dying, or somewhere between. You're in the middle. Robert Richardson and Scorsese captures New York streets, deserving it's title as 'the city that never sleeps'. I know a lot of people think Nicolas Cage isn't a great actor and he picks more bad than good roles. However, Cage is really excellent in this, which pains me to see him shy away from good material and becoming a stupid joke of himself. For the small screen these two had, John Goodman and Ving Rhames were also great. Lets not forget Paul Schrader fantastic script that keeps the film fresh at all times. Overall rating: Gives it a shot. Just me.

I originally gave this movie a rating of 7 ... had to come back because it really stuck with me; upgraded to an 8. I'd love to give it a 9 but the soundtrack (which was some great music)... it's like this movie couldn't figure out what it was. It was labeled a "thriller" but I don't think it's really a thriller... Maybe action, comedy, drama. Worth a watch for sure

While the beginning was OK, the film just didn't life up to my expectation. What is Scorsese's Message here?!

Such an underrated Scorsese flick... Ensemble cast and a glimpse into the life of first responders

Powerful and engrossing cinema from a truly great team.

Frank Pierce is a member of the Nork York paramedics, serving the Hell's Kitchen district he is witness to some terrible incidents. As he starts to crack under the pressure of the job, and getting no help from a succession of zany partners, More
