Remastered from the original camera negative and overseen by Scorsese, the 4K UHD disc of 'Bringing Out the Dead' perfectly replicates its moody atmosphere with Dolby Vision HDR, filmic grain, deep blacks, striking contrast, and desaturated colors, offering a faithful and stunning visual experience.

Bringing Out the Dead’s Dolby Atmos track delivers a masterful audio experience, enveloping listeners with precise directionality and immersive soundscapes. Dialogue remains clear amidst the chaos, while LFE output adds impactful depth. The city’s noise, music, and hospital ambiance create an engaging and dynamic auditory environment.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray of "Bringing Out the Dead" offers a standout audio-visual experience with a moody Atmos track and a meticulously remastered video overseen by Scorsese. The extras feature insightful interviews and retrospective content, with highlights from Scorsese, Cage, and Schrader, making it a must-see for fans but an acquired taste for others.

Movie: 77

Bringing Out the Dead, now available in a 4K UHD Blu-ray combo pack, remains one of Scorsese's most polarizing works—a chaotic, visually intense neo-noir that explores the psychological disintegration of a New York paramedic played by Nicolas Cage. Despite its ambitious stylistic choices, the film's overindulgence and tonal inconsistency leave it as a curiously forgettable entry in Scorsese's prolific career. Stellar performances and compelling direction underscore a narrative that wavers between gripping drama and disjointed mess.
