In my opinion, it is easily the most underrated movie directed by Martin Scorsese. Indeed, when it was released, it was barely noticed and didn't get much love and even nowadays it is usually considered as one of Scorsese's minor efforts. Personally, I do think it is actually a very good flick and it featured one of those great weird performances by Nicolas Cage. You know the Cage rule, right? For... read more

my painful to read 2019 movie diary (12 movies items)

" Tfw taking a break from comedy to watch a gritty hardboiled 1990s Martin Scorsese movie starring...... Nicolas Cage ofc. This movie tries wayy too hard to be a 90s Taxi Driver. Some of the dialogue and shots are word for word Travis Bickle. Except this time it's old St. Nic as a burnt out NY paramedic. This movie is just exceedingly strange and depressing and unpleasant, but ends on the cheesiest cornified note ever. Not an enjoyable viewing experience or a good movie for that matter, but i"

"2.1. rewatch Unettomuudesta kärsivän Nicolas Cagen rullailu ampulanssilla pitkin kaupunkia on oivallista yökatseltavaa. Pidän näistä Cagen rooleista, joissa mies pääsee esittämään jollain tapaa haavoittunutta henkilöhahmoa. Sivuhenkilöistä löytyy varsin hupaisia tyyppejä, ja elokuvan enemmän tai vähemmän vinksahtaneiden ihmisten elämää on sekä hauskaa että tavallaan myös hieman riipaisevaa seurata öisen Manhattanin miljöössä."
