  • a highly recommendable film by a remarkable team of film-making, director martin scorsese and screenwriter paul shrader. what i was most impressed is the creativity of scorsese and his spectacular way of shooting the film. nicholas cage gives a perfect performance, even surpasses that in leaving las vegas and should have got a nom in oscar. his wife, patricia arquette also does a good job, much better than that in stigmata. beautiful photography work and effective music. fantastic!

    p.s. i awarded the poster of bringing out the dead as the best film poster in the 1st jason awards.
