Herzog is my hero!
As painfully accustomed as I am to the creative dead zone known as Hollywood movies, imagine the shock and joy that I felt upon seeing "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans." Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage are two of the most UNPREDICTABLE film icons out there today; teaming them up was an act of genius. Calling this movie "weird" doesn't even begin to describe it. Herzog never makes a totally conventional movie, for which I joyously salute him, and "Bad Lieutenant" doesn't have a single second of convention in its entire running time. Obviously, this review predates the DVD release, so I can't evaluate things like bonus features or commentary tracks. Who cares? The movie by itself is more than worth the price.
