As you can see I’m doing a top 10 of ‘09 list for movies because I saw a lot of them and I feel passionate about my choices. The trick of it is… I didn’t see all of them so really this is just the best of 2009 based on what some dude in New Jersey saw. Then again, aren’t all Best of lists a variation of that?
So without further handwringing…
Full deliriously awkward title: The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans
The very existence of this movie is proof that the universe has a sense of humor. Not quite a remake and not quite a sequel, this re-quel to the 1992 article-deprived original Bad Lieutenant, starring Harvey Keitel as a morally and chemically compromised officer of the law, is batshit insane. Nicolas Cage has never been more Nic or more Cage than he is in this movie. It’s very nearly a cosmic event.
