Top Movies of ’09: #8 Bad Lieutenant: PoC-NO
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.
