BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS 11/30/2009
BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS √ Bob Certified Director Werner Herzog’s latest film mixes some of the classic cinematic storytelling punch of “Chinatown” with the dark, street-level social disorder of HBO’s “The Wire” in this dark, but wildly funny and entertaining work. Nicolas Cage delivers an Oscar worthy performance as a rogue cop who has enough of a moral compass left to be outraged by the savagery of the drug kingpins even when he is so far along the path to his own drug-influenced breakdown that he thinks nothing of violating his own code. It’s even more fun the second time you see it. Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
