Martin Scorsese directs one of his most compelling and unforgettable movies, reteaming him with screenwriter Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver), and starring Nicolas Cage. A paramedic on the brink of madness from too many years of reviving and losing lives meets the daughter of a man he tried to save. Together, they confront the ghosts of the past, and discover that redemption can be found among the living. *"An exciting, invigorating return to old preoccupations..." - Ian Freer, **Empire Magazine***
