Herzog’s/Cage’s Bad Lieutenant is totally fucking bat shit nuts
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
Nothing like the 1992 original masterpiece. And NOTHING like that bland, generic poster they’re trying to promote this thing with. This is a lively, funny, bizarre, BIZARRE ride that dances wildly on the boundaries of taste, genre and sanity. You’ll be hearing a lot about how this is Cage’s best performance in years. This performance is everything you used to love about Cage, while having a little fun with everything you now hate. And let’s not forget director Herzog, who is just as visible here as the star - this is possibly the most entertaining movie he’s ever made. That might not mean much to some, so I’ll go further - this is definitely one of the most entertaining movies of 2009.
