Capsule reviews of films opening this week: "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" — It's post-Katrina New Orleans and there are snakes in the water — none bigger than Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage), an exceptionally corrupt detective, who slinks through town snorting coke, smoking heroin, harassing women and brandishing a .44 Magnum stuffed in the front of his pants.

Neither a sequel to Bad Lieutenant nor a remake of it, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is, in fact, an entirely different animal than Abel Ferrara’s 1992 indie hit. And oh, what a strange, fascinating, ferocious animal it is. Take a film noir version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, run in [...]

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Werner Herzog's luridly entertaining police noir, is a one-of-a-kind experience that boasts a twice-in-a-lifetime performance from Nicolas Cage.

When once blasting the Cinéma Vérité documentary film movement, a movement driven by the desire for some form of indexical truth between film and the real world nurtured via a "fly on the wall" aesthetic, director Werner Herzog noted that...

This review only needs to consist of six words: Werner Herzog. Nicolas Cage. Bad Lieutenant. Not every one of those elements (with the possible exception of Herzog's name) is enough to sell a movie on its own, but the combination? Most definitely. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (Edward R. Pressman Films) isn't really a remake of Bad Lieutenant, Abel Ferrara's 1992 exploration of a crooked...

FROM MTV.COM: Seventeen years ago, the legendary Harvey Keitel launched the second act of his movie career with a pair of tough-guy instant classics: Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and Abel Ferrara's "Bad Lieutenant." A crack-pipe-smoking breath of fresh air, "Lieutenant" predated "The Shield" by a decade in telling the NC-17 story of a junkie, [...]

Baby did a bad, bad thing: Lieutenant McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) during a reflective moment in the midst of his usual drinking, leching, and lying. It's difficult to enter into Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans expecting a comedy. That's despite a title more ridiculous and unwieldy than even a CSI spin-off would accept, and a trailer that features star Nicolas Cage waxing rhapsodic on his lucky...

I love every film by director Werner Herzog I've seen, starting with 1982's Fitzcarraldo and culminating most recently in his wonderful if sad Grizzly Man . I like Nicolas Cage a lot, especially when the actor is at his most histrionic in such offbeat movies as Peggy Sue Got Married , Raising Arizona and Face/Off . I do not like the new Herzog-Cage collaboration, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans...

As a sex- and drug-addicted cop whose conscience drowned long before the rising waters of Hurricane Katrina engulfed the Big Easy, Nicolas Cage swings from heroin's slow-mo to coke-fed frenetic, giggling madness in Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans .

There's a deranged grandeur to Nicolas Cage's performance in " Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans ," in which he plays a police officer who plunges into drug addiction after a heroic on-the-job accident. Cage throws himself into a role of a man not so much battling as fervidly dancing with his...

Not since Snakes On A Plane has the line between movie and Internet meme been as confused as it is with Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage’s remake of the Abel Ferrara shocker Bad Lieutenant . When the project was first announced at Cannes, it immediately triggered reaction along the lines of “What kind of crazy train wreck is that going to be?” And once the wondrously insane teaser trailer...
