Bringing Out the Dead Ratings & Reviews
- parcolanFebruary 5, 2026Very good movie, Cage is amazing
- cultfilmlikerJanuary 4, 2026Who knew the life of an EMT was so harrowing lol What a cast!! Michael K Williams very good in a tiny bit part! All Cage’s partners and associates are great. Tom Sizemore is too good at playing his part, as we’ve seen. Loved the cinematography. Between that and the cast, I got lots of Tarantino vibes The direction during the fence scene was spectacular. *Marty Scorsese voice* that’s cinema 🙌
- AnnaMarch 19, 2025Scorcese and Nic Cage are the perfect pair
- SamNovember 18, 2025my brother in law says this is very accurate
- nicpedersonAugust 19, 2025A Scorsese dark comedy. Subject matter is so tense and depressing that the dark humor you don’t typically find with Scorsese actually makes a ton of sense.
- jackmeatJune 20, 2025My quick rating - 7.0/10.
