Product: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans [Blu-ray] (2009)
Rating: 4.0
Outrageous neo-noir
Nicholas Cage, as directed by Klaus Kinski's close collaborator Werner Herzog, channels Timothy Carey leer-for-leer in a bravura performance of an over-the-top screenplay that gumboes "King of the City," Abe Ferrara's "Bad Lieutenant,"Richard III," James M Cain, and The National Enquirer. Truly grotesque and bleak social comedy set in a determinedly non-touristy milieu manages some direct hits on deserving targets.
