Movie #185 "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" is NOT Dirty Harry, but it tries to be. I've seen this movie over and over -----we're supposed to find this bad cop endearing --- doesn't work for me. First, he's a hideous human being, and second he's played by Nicolas Cage (one of my least favorite actors) and then to top that, his partner is Val Kilmer (another disliked actor) and finally, it's directed by Werner Herzog, who is supposed to be this great director, but I rarely like what he does. So it has three strikes against it before I even watch it............watch "Criminal Minds" or "NCIS" for better stuff than this movie metes out. Blah!
Average rating: 3.007
I gave it 2 stars
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
(2009) R
Corrupt Det. Terence McDonaugh (Nicolas Cage) -- whose bad habits include pain drugs, reckless sports gambling and accepting sexual bribes -- investigates the murder of five Senegalese illegal immigrants in New Orleans. Co-starring Val Kilmer as McDonaugh's partner, Xzibit as drug supplier Big Fade and Eva Mendes as prostitute Frankie Donnenfield, director Werner Herzog's action drama is a loose update of Abel Ferrara's 1992 film, Bad Lieutenant.
