Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) isn't doing so well. He has a nasty painkiller addiction, courtesy of an injury he sustained while rescuing a prisoner during Hurricane Katrina. Plus, there's his alcoholic father (Tom Bower), boozy wife (Jennifer Coolidge) and prostitute girlfriend (Eva Mendes). And, he's just been saddled with a rookie partner (Shawn Hatosy). Now Terence must pull himself back from the edge of insanity to investigate a series of murders that has the city on edge.

Critic Reviews:

• " Bad Lieutenant invites us along for the ride, and even says ‘welcome aboard’ and asks: how might we entertain you today? This is Herzog and it's fun, and you don't get many of those for the pound. Get it while you can. " – Deborah Ross

• " Gritty, raw, and kooky at times, Bad Lieutenant is one of those movies that you can't really look away, even though you may want to for certain scenes. " – Candice Frederick

• " Herzog is clearly on “ecstatic truth” autopilot. " – Keith Uhlich
