How crazy is crazy. In all honestly everything is good about this film except the title. This is a movie about a movie. Same title & same concept. If no one wants to admit that its okay but its the fans that know the truth. So anyway Nicolas Cage plays the role of a Lieutenant in a grimy post Katrina NOLA. In this film Cage does what he does he does best: acts completely crazy. This is also a very adult themed film full of racy content. If that is your interest you will feel right at home here. Cage is so unpredictable in this film you could probably watch it five times and not be totally sure what he is going to do next. The story is the standard. The action is excellent. It is also completely necessary to mention this film is directed by Werner Herzog. A director whose vision really gives Cage the ability to reach the outer orbits of insanity. Watch with care. Overall Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans brings a little welcomed danger back to the screen. Great appearances by Brad Dourif and Eva Mendes. Also be on the lookout because strange things happen with no explanation. Stay tuned.Its amazing how much you can get done when you have a simple purpose in life.
