Synopsis

In Werner Herzog's new film "The Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans," Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs -- while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (played by Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.

    nic cage acts his socks off in this remake by werner herzog set in new orleans after hurricane katrina. i saw it last night and it's an 18 and deserves to be. it's pretty violent and there is a lot of drug taking which i didn't think was wholly necessary and a lot was just gratuitous. the supporting case were excellent. i didn't think the leads gelled though and it went on too long so only 5/10 from me.
