Actor Nicolas Cage's loopy performance highlights this interesting portrait of a New Orleans Police officer investigating the murder of a family of African immigrants. Not a sequel to director Abel Ferrara's 1992 film, but rather a variation on the same theme with different char...( read more)

Terence McDonagh: Shoot him again.
Deshaun 'Midget' Hackett: What the hell for?
Terence McDonagh: His soul is still dancing.

I just watched this at London Film Festival & went in expecting to hate it as I loved the original. But I have to say, the film is excellent, certainly Cage's best film & best performance since Leaving Las Vegas. Herzog has done a brilliant job & the film stands on it's own, apar...( read more)

This movie is crazy, ridiculous, absurd and outrageous. Nicholas Cage is way over the top as a drug addicted cop. The plot is unbelievable as are the situations in this movie. However I would actually recommend this film because I had a great time watching it. If you are lookin...( read more)

There can only ever be one Bad Lieutenant: Harvey Keitel. full review
There's a valuable lesson to be learned from Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans: Two wrongs don't make a right -- it takes at least three. full review
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans -- why Port of Call? what does that mean? -- is no masterpiece, but it is undoubtedly the work of a master. full review
Cage's receding hairline and hunchback performance evokes Conrad Veidt -- a Klaus Kinski-like maniac -- because this is, in fact, a German Expressionist horror film and comedy. full review
No one is better at this kind of performance than Nicolas Cage. He's a fearless actor. He doesn't care if you think he goes over the top. If a film calls for it, he will crawl to the top hand over han... full review
May not result in a coherent whole but nonetheless delivers bursts of random, inspired madness. full review
If there's a sure thing in movies, it's that if you cast Nicolas Cage in a role in which he goes crazy, he'll rise to the occasion and keep on rising until he seems even loonier than his character. full review
