Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for a raw, character-driven drama that doesn't pull punches. Frank Pierce's descent into moral exhaustion is compelling stuff, and this Scorsese film (featuring Nicolas Cage in one of his best performances) earned its reputation as a haunting meditation on burnout and guilt—just don't expect uplifting.

Plot

Once called "Father Frank" for his efforts to rescue lives, Frank Pierce sees the ghosts of those he failed to save around every turn. He has tried everything he can to get fired, calling in sick, delaying taking calls where he might have to face one more victim he couldn't help, yet cannot quit the job on his own.

Director: Martin Scorsese

Cast: Nicolas Cage, Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore
