I haven't seen it in a while, and since I've discovered that my opinion about movies sometimes change quite a lot over the years I probably shouldn't say too much.
But back then, I didn't like it at all. I think I thought it was cartoonish and irritatingly surrealistic - like a bad Oliver Stone moment. I guess Scorsese was aiming for some kind of surrealism to depict the madness of the world of NY ambulance drivers, but in my opinion he didn't succeed. I think I even tried to re-watch it to see if I had been wrong the first time, but I didn't even finish it. My opinion might have changed, though. It's been over ten years...

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
