haunted Nicolas Cage
26 October 2013
Frank Pierce (Nicolas Cage) is a NY paramedic haunted by the people he can't save. It's a grimy downtrodden portrayal of the underbelly of an ignored society. It's the early 90s from director Martin Scorsese but it is reminiscent of the 70s of Scorsese's past.

Nicolas Cage puts up an impressive performance as the haunted man. The series of co-stars does divide the mood of the movie. I rather let him have just one partner. The changes cause disruptions in the flow of the movie.

Disruptions may be what Scorsese is looking for. The bluesy meandering feel of the movie is highlighted by the Nicolas Cage narration. We're looking at a maestro conductor in Scorsese. The movie has the feel of a composition.
