A cop who's bad to the bone: 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' | 
From member Robert Denerstein:
Despite its title, Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is only a distant cousin to Abel Ferrara‘s 1992 movie — also called Bad Lieutenant. Ferrara’s movie starred Harvey Keitel as the world’s most depraved detective. The new version stars Nicolas Cage as an equally corrupted cop, but one who doesn’t seem to have time to plumb any Dostoevskian depths.
