Bringing Out The Dead Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Martin Scorsese
Genres: Drama
Rating:
This tense urban drama stars Nicolas_Cage as Frank Pierce, a paramedic on the brink of physical and emotional collapse. Frank has worked for years in one of New York's most brutal neighborhoods, and the pressure of his job has taken its toll; plagued with self-doubt, he is haunted by the spirits of the people he couldn't save, and while he desperately wants to quit his job, outside forces won't let him walk away. Bringing Out the Dead brought director Martin_Scorsese back to the streets of contemporary New York, one of his favorite locations, after three films set elsewhere: Kundun, Casino, and The Age of Innocence. The film also reunited Scorsese with screenwriter Paul_Schrader, who scripted Taxi_Driver, Raging_Bull, and The Last Temptation of Christ. The supporting cast includes Patricia_Arquette as the daughter of a heart attack victim that Frank has fallen in love with, and John_Goodman and Ving_Rhames as two of Frank's fellow drivers.
