Bringing Out The Dead (1999)

A paramedic who's severely affected by exhaustion hardly makes it through three full days of his job.

'Bringing Out The Dead' is an atypical, quite experimental film, directed by a Martin Scorsese who manages to control an extremely mixed, turbulent and dramatic project, very close to real life, with people suffering from almost familiar, almost common problems. Nicholas Cage is - as usual - wonderful in the role of the paramedic who barely manages to keep his mental balance in check, under the burden of exhaustion and post-traumatic stress caused by the death of a patient.

Director:  Martin Scorsese    

With: Nicholas Cage, Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore, Marc Anthony, Cliff Curtis, Nestor Serrano, Sonja Sohn, Aida Turturro

Rating: 8/10
