Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans


A mad, off the wall police movie with Nicolas Cage giving a solid performance. There's plenty of "bad" cop movies, but this is certainly the most ridiculous one I have seen so far. If you are a fan of over-the-top sequences, this movie has them in spades. It's a fairly engaging and interesting movie and Nicolas Cage's descent into madness is effectively done by both his performance and the screenplay/script. There's a few things that didn't work for me, like the drug-induced hallucinations (iguana's and whatnot) and the ending, which was a little too safe, but it is entertaining for its entire running length and worth a visit.
