Synopsis: Bringing Out the Dead (1999)

Synopis: Martin Scorsese exhilaratingly adapts Joe Connelly's novel about Frank (Nicolas Cage), a paramedic working among the filth and mental desolation of New York City's Hell's Kitchen in the early 1990s. Lately he has been haunted by the visions of a beautiful 18 year-old girl whom he was unable to resuscitate. Soon after, another image begins to torment him, that of Mary (Patricia Arquette), a recovering drug addict who enters Frank's life when he attempts to save her father. His spiral into even further confusion is paralleled with his three driving partners: Larry (a boisterous John Goodman), whose advice to Frank is not to think about all the death and violence; Marcus (a scene-stealing Ving Rhames), a religious fanatic who uses his medical skills as propaganda for the Lord; and Walls (a maniacal Tom Sizemore), a loose cannon who has no sensible grounding whatsoever. In order to escape the madness that is consuming him, Frank asks, unsuccessfully, to be fired. He must ride out the nightmare, trying to redeem the lives of Rose, Mary, and himself in the process. Scorsese uses his camera to capture Frank's wavering mental state with tilted angles and fast-speed photography. In portraying the tormented Frank, Cage dives wholeheartedly into character, delivering another fiery performance.

   1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Bringing Out the Dead review helpful Bringing out the Dead is the finest if not the Finest movie about EMS ever! It brings out real life of EMS (well maybe not the drinking) but it sure does. From an EMS worker to the ordinary Joe its what we go through every single day.

   Most people did not like this film from those I've talked to. However, I (being a Scorsese fan) found it great. I feel that there are some great issues brought about that are not normally discussed in society. Scorsese does a great job bringing the book to the screen and each person within the film gave great life to the picture. For those who like thought-provoking and un-typical films...Bringing Out the Dead will be worth your time. ...
