Martin Scorsese is a wonderful filmmaker. And he loves New York. He is at his best, though, when he has an interesting story to tell.

Of course, it's immaculately crafted and exhilaratingly paced, but in the end it's never as emotionally involving as it could and should be.

Despite the lack of energy and the lethargic pace, there's something darkly compelling about Bringing Out the Dead.

An exciting, invigorating return to old preoccupations. Welcome home, Marty.

Its hard-to-pin-down tone is frighteningly original -- simultaneously world-weary and adolescent with an aura of perpetual anxiety, as if the characters and filmmakers were in pursuit of a catharsis everyone knows will never come.

Scorsese doesn't trust the power of simplicity to rock us.

Scorsese is married to a script that drags him down, keeps him from taking wing as a pure artist.
January 01, 2000
An intense, volatile film full of sorrow and wild, mordant humor.

However muddled the story gets, Scorsese guarantees Bringing Out the Dead remains a pulsating trip.
