Bad Lieutenant - Port Of New Orleans - 2009 - 6/10

Where to begin ...
Nicholas Cage gives a crazed, over the top performance in this Werner Herzog film. A cop with no morals or check switch.
The group I watched this with hated it. I, however, I have mixed feelings.
With Val Kilmer, Brad Dourif, Eva Mendes, and Xzibit, this should have been better than a television knockoff.
Cage's character pops more drugs than Mötley Crüe, with few consequences.
For local color, Herzog did some point of view shots from the back of an alligator, later an iguana. These were plastic!
If you view this as a parody of police procedurals, you may like this better.
