The TVI Take
Scorsese's 1999 Paul Schrader screenplay (their fourth collaboration after Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Last Temptation) anchored by Nicolas Cage as a burnt-out Manhattan paramedic. The film returns Schrader and Scorsese to their shared subject — the man confronting whether his work is salvation or damnation.
Patricia Arquette and the ensemble of EMT supporting players render mid-'90s NYC night-shift specificity at documentary register.
