Pros: Great acting, colorful characters
Cons: Very depressing
Summary: People either love it or hate it. I guess it depends on whether you look at it from a great directing and acting point of view, or from the view that the subject matter is so dismal and depressing. I read an epinion by spoalanm that got me curious, so ... read more

Pros: Good acting and filmmaking.
Cons: Graphic and disturbing.
Summary: This is a very unusual film. It is classic Scorsese; dark gritty New York City. The film takes place almost completely at night for the simple reason that it traces the steps of Nicholas Cage playing Frank, an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician, or ... read more

Pros: Watch if your hard up for a bad movie
Cons: Boring
Summary: I did not like this movie at all. Unlike any other of his movies this was definitly not a Cage movie. It was completely irritating and constantly flashing back and forth. You had no idea what the movie was even about. Maybe Nick just didn't have any ... read more

Pros: Martin Scorsese's visual brilliance and uncanny accuracy
Cons: the romance angle didn't quite click.
Summary: I know these people. I know those eyes staring back at me on the video box, because they're mine. So I must first say I find it difficult even now to be "objective" (whatever that means), not because I have something to sell or try not to sell ... read more

Pros: Not a family movie
Cons: Nicholas Cage!!!
Summary: Nicholas Cage..is one of the best 'dark' characters of the 90's. I have watched him evolve from...movies like Valley Girl...to Leaving Las Vegas. I have seen 8MM, Con Air and The Rock. All roles that let his personality show through but challenged his ... read more

Pros: Performance by Cage; brilliant photography and directing, awesome soundtrack
Cons: A little too guilt ridden, and very sad

Pros: Fun in a Weird Way
Cons: Can make you a bit ill, loose plot
Summary: Bringing out the Dead disappointed me only because I was wanting something more. I saw it during Halloween weekend in NYC, and frankly was disappointed that it wasn't scary at all. More real of a movie, it chronicles the mind of Cage as he is dealing ... read more

Cons: a bit confusing at times
Summary: This movie was most definatley not Cages best performace. He did a good job with the part he was given, but it was an odd movie. Rhames brought a unique touch to the movie, as he does with a majority of his roles. I would not compare it to 6th Sense, ... read more
